actually, frontdoor is expecting a FOSSIL, period... what is on the other
side of that FOSSIL frontdoor doesn't care about... frontdoor does send the
standard analogue modem AT commands, though, so the FOSSIL should either
eat them or convert them to whatever the other side needs... in the same
manner that the FOSSIL will send a "RING" to frontdoor so that it
knows there is an incoming connection...

i think the biggest thing is to have either an all in one FOSSIL/telnet
shim or at least a working FOSSIL that can talk to a telnet shim... i'm
saying telnet shim but it could be any shim... these same type things were
used back in the day when ISDN first came around so that frontdoor could
talk to the ISDN device ;)

BTW: what's your real name? this is a fidonet echo... you should use your
real name in the header or at least sign your messages with your real
name... eye of the beholder 2 is over there on the other side of the park
;)
