For fun, you might want to try calling (619) 481-1753, and see a
"front end", implemented entirely with batch files, that includes
AUTO BAUD RATE detection( 1200 or 2400), user logging, and service
selection.  I started out needing to choose between PROCOMM/host, and
PC-ANYWHERE, and it kind of expanded from there...

If you are familiar with ASK (or QUERY or INPUT) which are little
progs that accept a single key and return it in the ERRORLEVEL
so a batch file can test the key and make a decision that way,
I just copied that for the COM1: line.

If you do call, I use a MR MOX power switch so wait 60 secs for 
the system to boot.

I can give you more info if you're interested...
