I think I posted something to the wrong newsgroup, and I think
it may even have been an empty post...I'm quite distracted today.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could whip up a quick shell program
that would dial a number in the background and then go for a connect
I don't think it would be that difficult, and when the system connected
I could jump to ProTERM and do what I wanted to...but I could program 
while I waited...

Dumb idea, but what the hey, it'll do until someone writes a real telecom
program.
