Hi Rick,

After talking to the PB folks, they got as far as getting a dial tone. Never could get the thing to dial. Unfortunately, they trashed that code, so I couldn't get it. However, a version of that was give to our VB people, so I'm trying to get with them and see if they still have it.

One of the reasons I didn't get involved directly with this is that my office machine doesn't have a modem (Internet via the company server), so I couldn't participate in any testing. I might see what I can do here at the house, however.

Regards,
