:P Me, say what? <mock horror> ;)
I was dissing the non-2.4 solutions - all the very un-Linuxy ways of doing
it in <= 2.2. One piece of software I tried required a patch to pppd, and
then seemed to kill it off after connecting. Search me.

That's the catch. The 2.2.14 patch was about as flakey as the other yukkies,
and it took me half a day to stop bothering with it - 2.4 worked straight
out of the box. Of course, I'm not in the habit of recommending 2.4 for
anything very important. 8)
When I first got it to work, I couldn't help thinking of the six office
lines, and all of the spare modems I could scrounge up. ;)
One of the best features is the relinking if a modem goes down - from
memory, I don't think NT ever did this. Not on the setup I was duped with.
Am I right, or just basking in thankful new-found ignorance of NT stuff?

eventually solved, especially with the answers!)
