Dial in/dial out is no problem on the Intelliport boards as long as you're
talking about cu and NOT uucp.  I gave up trying to get the Intelliport 
boards to do bi-directional uucp.  Computone claims their boards will do 
bi-uucp with their new drivers and firmware but I don't think any of 
their customers has this working in a real life situation.  

Interestingly enough, bidirectional uucp / modem handling ability on 
the old Computone ATvantage-X boards with the OLD driver technology (atx 
setup files) works.  We have several of these boards still in use although
they are not the greatest as far as throughput and fancy features.

I don't think Computone even makes these boards with those drivers anymore.
