Hello mark,

On Friday February 27 2015 03:05, you wrote to me:

And how does one configure the serial port and the modem?

Sorry, you are unconvincing. In the unlikely event that it ever had such weird
capabilities, there is no trace to be found of it and it certainly does not
have them now..

As thay say, it takes two to tango. You may have been discussing POTS systems
with others, but I am not. SO "we" are not discussing POTS systems either.

 ml> but anyway... yeahsahr... youze da boss, sahr... oh wait...
 ml> no you're not...

Boss or not, I can still decide what I do not discuss. And POTS systems is not
what I am discussing, and hence what "we" are not discussing.


Cheers, Michiel
