    "Easy" ?  Please don't tell me that. I've been knocking my brains out
  tring to get it to work, though I do know many Ultrix sites are using
  'shared' mode.
     I'm using genuine Hayes Smartmodem 2400's on an DMF-32 (VAX 11/750).
  Even though I've copied all related files from another Ultrix system,
  I still can't get 'shared' mode to work.
     Prehaps someone would be kind enough to tell me how the modem must be
  configured (i.e. contents of the significant S-registers, or a list of
  equivilant AT commands ).

   Thank you,
