It sounds quite interesting. Will it work even when my 
own computer is NOT on the net?

This is the approach I've tried. For some reason uugetty says
something like "CONNECT sequence failed" when I called in.
I guess maybe the "" ATA\r CONNECT\s\A doesn't match the
actual output of the modem. I will try to get rid of the
WAITFOR and CONNECT settings altogether and use the simplest
settings provided by uugetty and see if it works or not.

Could you tell which way (ppp or uugetty) is easier to setup?
