   The problem is that Microport's release of HDB does *not* support
the Dialers file. You can set one up but it will not use it. I got a
big suprize when I hooked up my Telebit, edited the Dialers file and 
tried it!  This has been more or less confirmed from Microport. They
are considering porting the 386 version of HDB (which works) to the
286. Other than the Dialers file, Microports HDB works fairly well.
Yes, your right, CU doesn't use the new files. To make matters worse,
with the Telebit, CU wont autodial at all. This isn't too bad, the
Telebit has 10-number directories and this works fine. The darn thing
is saving me so much money I cant complain. :-)
