ventel
I used the Ventel modem once, and found a major problem.  It has a very
nice human-friendly interface, but if you hook it up to a computer and
expect the computer to dial out over it, you will have a problem.  The
modem itself is not able to keep up listening for a phone number at 1200
baud!  I had to kludge uucp (the delay/no newline stuff was put in) and
gimmick the L.sys file to send the first digit, wait for the first digit
to echo, send the second digit, wait for it to echo, etc.  Slow and ugly
but it worked.  An alternative is to program into the 5 numbers it can
keep memorized the (only) 5 numbers you will ever call.

Of course, you'll have to fix up your L.sys to know how to talk to it,
this isn't hard using the expect/send/expect/send business.
