Further testing under MS-DOS 6.22 reveals that it's un-usable for Fido  
(POTS) because the built-in Comms routines don't work. To be more precise,  
when the Netcall "button" is pressed, OpenXP crashes big-style with the  
following garbage on the screen .....

If I install a fossil (ADF) to bypass OpenXP's Comms routines, the fossil  
does what it's supposed to do but then OpenXP just sits there reporting  
"No connect" when, in fact, the modems *have* successfully negotiated.

Just as a cross-check, I fired up OpenXP's terminal and that crashed with  
the same errors as above.
