that's good! :)

ml> that depends on your "shim"... in my case, with Warp 3 Connect, i use

ml> dialing string... ie: dots instead of dashes and similar...

 SD> The dialing string problem is what I'm concerned about.  Like you,
 SD> I run SIO 1.60d, so I know I can get out with no problems.

well, the only other thing is if the init string faciliates "normal" 
answering... a standard init string and SIO on telnet or POTS should easily 
answer either with no problems at all if the POTS side is direct to the modem 
and then to BT...
