It's a MAJOR problem - as shipped, the Hayes dialer won't support
bidirectional transmissions.  This modem is for a machine that runs a
bulletin board, which means it must answer the phone unattended.  It also
polls another system for news, which means it must dial out unattended.
There is only one phone line in and out of this machine (no - I can't add
another one - no wiring in the house!)
