Interestingly enough, this *doesn't* always work for me.  bigtex sits
on my desk and I can hear the modem speaker while I work.  I have it
set to answer PEP-tones first (to encourage uucp neighbors :-), but on
some rare occassions, the modem will go immediately to the 2400bps
tones and not give the moose call.  One thing that comes to mind is
that to call some systems I usa the S50 register to lock the data rate
at 1200bps (the local Telenet nodes answers at 2400 but I want to
connect at only 1200bps).  I have S52=2 also, and have a two second
pause after DTR is dropped to ensure that the modem sees it, yet
apparently it doesn't always take.

I don't have the "catatonic" problem.  I do have trouble with sending
the modem "AT\r" sequences - it often acts as though it saw an "ATA"
command.  I still strongly recommend the TB+ - at ~$650 it's the only
way to go (at $1250+ though, I'm not so sure).
