Yeah, I've done that now, but it's offline a lot more than it's
online.  BTW, with the silent-running of this modem, people log
on and off of my BBS without me hearing anything at all, not a
single click anywhere.  At the moment I am taking an interest,
but I swap screens to look at something else and find that a
couple of calls have been and gone without me noticing!

It bothers me.  I'll ask Netcomm if they can have an option to
switch off the display.

Crying wolf is not likely to work in your favour in the long run.

Now that I've got a V.34 modem to exchange for, I might actually 
try getting the Spirit Viper back off that guy for a trial
sometime.

Hmmm, I'll take the &T5, the %M2 gives me an error, the #A0,
the #B1 I don't understand, and the S11 setting.  On top of
what I've already put in of course.  Thanks.  BFN.  Paul.

P.S. Which leaves me with...
