Greetings, Jonathan...

 Jonathan de Boyne Pollard hastily said to David Randall:

 JdBP> Providers" supplied as standard with OS/2.  Indeed, since the
 JdBP> information, once entered, is contained in %ETC%\TCPOS2.INI, they could
 JdBP> even automate the process of entering the configuration information
with
 JdBP> a relatively trivial REXX script.

It's also much more conviently available in the "User Object" that sits in the 
IBM Internect Connection folder...


 JdBP>   But it's easy to see how AT&T could,
 JdBP> from being told how OS/2 customers connected to IBM's service,
 JdBP> mistakenly deduce that it *would* have to supply its own dialler.

Given the apparent level of knowledge held by their so-called technical
support..
