It's your enhanced code, so you should be sure.  And you should at least
have a rough idea of how it works too.  Not much point attaching it to me
at STD rates if I can't fucking use the thing, is it?

FYI, the ModemTrans comment permits you to send different strings to the
modem, according to the flags which appear in the nodelist.  For example,
your flags include V32b whilst David's don't, so I have compiled Fastlst to
recognise V32b as a specific command qualifier, which adds X1 to the
dialling string (and therefore disables BUSY detect on STD calls) of any
modem with a V32b flag.

Well it doesn't, and it costs me 12c every time it recycles too.

All I know is that it does NOT function as it did with BTPE 3.0 (and
Binkley 2.59 as well, of course).  Maybe your source code is fucked?

Dunno, I'd be more inclined to go back to 2.59 with EMSI connects if I
can't figure out how to get ModemTrans to work properly.

Well that tells me a hell of a lot, I don't think.

Nice to see that the Binkley docs are down to their usual standard...
