Hello Jerry!

On Sunday October 15 2006 18:11, you wrote to me:

It is no big deal. Just tried t make you aware of this little detail.

Hmmm, just looking at a match at the end of a flag does not seem right to
me. That way you can indeed not discriminate between ICM and CM. Or TCM an
CM for that matter...

As I said, it is no big deal. In the past it might have been. My voice line
doubles as my POTS modem line during the night. Has been like that for
almost ten years now. In the early days I sometimes got called during the
day - in my "voice slot" - by modems. That is history. Have not
has such a call in four or five years.

Cheers, Michiel
