     Okay, to you this may be a defect, but I have two computers and two
terminals and sometimes there is a need to switch from one to another in
the middle of a call. On the other modems I've used, the call would always
be disconnected, making it impossible to use. Also, some computers use
DTR for handshaking (instead of XON/XOFF) maybe not any REAL computers
but some lesser-known ones do.

     Also, no one at all has responded to my third posting of the modem
list. I'm beginning to think about forgetting the whole thing. It just
doesn't seem like there is enough demand. Does anyone out there think
it's useful at all?
