Andy,

I like using VLT, I find it to be very stable, and the scripting capabilities
as well as the Arexx interface are outstanding!!  One thing I would recommend,
is that you upgrade your modem to at least 2400 baud.  Alot of boards require
at least 1200, even more require at least 2400 baud, and a growing number of
boards are 9600 baud only!!!  Free or not, I don't know where you will be able
to call with a 300 baud modem...

Cheers,

JK
