MR> Vmodem stands for Virtual modem.

That line popped up an interesting thought:  what would happen if you
pointed a DOS program (specifically TurboTax) to Vmodem and told it to
use a dialup connection instead of an existing inet connection???

I never did get the TT online stuff to work right - kept giving me all
sorts of socket-related errors - but I never thought to try this little
trick.  Anybody tried it?  If not, maybe I'll give it a shot come tax
time this year.  This could be interesting...
