What do you mean by "spoofs"?  Spoofing is the conventional term for a
special feature in the modem where it becomes intimately involved in the
file transfer protocol.  The mere ability to do uucp transfers with the
modem is not "spoofing", only when the modem has a special feature for
the protocol.

What special register/switch settings do you adjust to turn on the spoofing
in your MultiTech 224EH?
