To which Drew Klenotic replies...

Just a side note:  There is a project called SIMNET that aims to bridge
the gap between the dial up crowd and the telnet crowd.  Also, Lantronix
boxes are a good alternative as they fool the computer into thinking it's
a modem but it "dials" to telnet connections.

And again, welcome back.
