...but baulk at local RINGING tones and STD pips.  They are using US/Canada
EPROM code in the Dynalink/Sportsters, which is very marginal when it comes
to local telco tones.  Indeed, you are having problems with ringing tones
being detected as a BUSY response, are you not ?

Not to mention some biased owners of these particular modems...  :)
