      I have many Mac II users that need a sophisticated dialing system that 
does all the following:

1) Lift the switchook automatically (as does a modem).
2) Not interfere with using VersaTerm through the modem port for an RS232 
   interface with a VAX.
3) Usable within HyperCard (if at all possible).
4) Not interfere with the normal speaker operation.

     The two dialers that use the speaker output (HyperDialer and HyperCable)
fills requirements 2 & 3 but not 1 & 4; using a modem fills requirements 
1, 3 & 4 but not 2 (HyperCard modem dialing somehow changes the modem port to 
2400 baud, which requires an adjustment in VersaTerm before normal use is
restored).

     Is there such a product?

Thanks,

John Dennis
