NOTE:
	The new digital phone systems will probably NOT work with your
modems.  We have travelling salesmen [:-)] that use Hayes modems and
appropriate hardware to demonstrate our system to potential customers.
Everything worked ok until one of the potential customers had a digital
phone network in his office/company.  No connection, no way, no how!
I spoke with the president of the company who installed this network and
he said that due to there being NO STANDARD for digital phone networks,
there were MANY digital phone networks out there that are completely
different in their treatment of the wires involved (thus no acceptable
solution was available to us - I recommended that if the case came up
again, to go rent a hotel room that used ATT standard and demo there).
