Yes, remember it well.  When we were first trying to get uucp
going, I was frantically going through the UN*X documentation 
trying to figure out exactly *how* one pulsed RS-232 pins.
Finally this modem was delegated to hand connection from home type
uses, and we acquired a Hayes.

BTW, I'm still curious as to how one could pulse one of the RS-232
pins from within UN*X.  Please reply by mail if you have any ideas.
