Wrote it in 1990!  At the time Maximus couldn't answer the phone itself,so
I wrote a small program called Maxine.  You can get still it from here:

 MAXINE1.LZH 27k (  5)Originally for Maximus 1.x,  this program simply
                      answers the phone and passes a 'hot' handle to
                      another program.
