...guess my external has some advantages after all...don't think I would
miss that,silent or otherwise...besides,when I'm net-bashing,I have a
tendency to watch my screen...if it freezes for any great length of

TC>connected. Try it... crash your terminal program and your modem will

...I guess Telix has spoiled me for ease of use and reliability...it
wouldn't allow such nonsense...but for net-bashing I guess the software
is not suitably advanced to have developed simplicity and
dependability...
