i don't see any way of creating a DNS record that would hand out my POTS
number for POTS queries, my IP number for IP queries, tell a remote system
that i accept binkp connections from 1300 to 1900 daily, have the POTS line
operational at other times, and that i can also accept telnet and vmodem
connections...

do you see something in dns that i do not?
