 RJT> It'd also be nifty if there was some way to suggest to people that

 RJT> happened (because he wasn't doing anything at his end),  and then
 RJT> ymodem on a subsequent call,  only because those were the first two
 RJT> choices on the list.
Create a mecca file that lists the protocol choices available and the blurb 
that you want. Uncomment "Uses ProtocolDump" in Max.ctl.
