	Yes, it'll work only up to this extend, but if you CAN'T REBOOT
your PC with Ctrl-Alt-Del 'coz the DTR will be dropped and the modem
will disconnect.  On the GS, I can reboot with OA-Ctrl-Reset (even do
self-tests OA-option-ctrl-reset) as many times as I want without
affecting the modem, as long as I DON'T TURN OFF the computer.
	I was at my friend's place using her 486 and while out in DOS
with the modem still connected, her DOS 5 command.com suddenly got
corrupted and died.  We had to reboot the whole PC and lost the line as
a result.  Took her 3 hours of redialling b4 she got in again.
