JJ;

  Thanks for the words of encouragement... I need 'em at this point!

  My first setup was using a 20' retractile cord stretched across the kitchen
to the phone jack.  I suspect that this cord has some broken connectors in it,
as our oldest daughter used to talk for hours and progressively wrap the cord
around her waist as she paced the floor.

  Switching to a straight 20' extension cord that is almost new, at least I was
able to download successfully at  2400 baud.  ransmits still got garbled.
  Tonight I dropped back to 1200 and was able to ransmit 2 separate messages
with no errors.
  Next step is to go to ramdisk and shorten the modem/phone jack cord still
further.
  One benefit to running into problems like this is the added knowledge gained
by RTFM.  I found in the VIVA manual that ATDS=n will dial up to 4 numbers
stored in non-volatile memory!  Neato!
