I've had no trouble using the Dialers entry that comes with the X5 update.
For Xenix, DialTBIT works as well.  The trick is using the right cable.
I use your basic 6 lead modular RJ11 cable and a DB25 adapter that Equinox 
supplies.  The pinouts for this adapter are documented in the manual.

On the loading, does anyone know when or if Neal Nelson has released the
i/o board benchmarks?  I'm curious to know how well this board stacks up
with an indpendent set of benchmarks.
