   Wot?  You mean I bought three DS200/MC units with modem control and

   the point of modem control on the DS200 then?

I agree, Ian, this is ridiculous!

   I think the DHQ11 is supported.

DEC advised me to buy a DS5000 instead of a DS5400 (which I did). And
a 5000 does not have anything alike a DHQ11.
I feel disappointed.
