  Aha! Thanks, Rod. What a shambles. I've got a copy of Boyan
somewhere, and a null cable is no problem, but Windows is my
multitasker! I suppose I could run at 2400.

  But actually, I've got the Telemate script tagged, now. the PUT
command is pretty-much the same as PRINT, and bloody Telemate doesn't
want to know about hex or anything but ordinary numbers and ascii
code. I've got the Devil Dialler working now, but to send the number
666 I have to convert it to hex (9a02) and then into ascii Alt142,
Alt02 (Ž). Telemate then sends the Ž quite happily and Paul's BBS
responds. It's a bloody nuisance.

  It's funny, I was going to swap to Telix and dump Telemate, but now
I've got freqing working with Telemate, I might convert TinyPoint too.
It's not a bad way to learn SALT code, converting it to a different
language. How much like C is SALT? It doesn't seem difficult enough;
the way people go on about C.
