I have managed to dig out the fix that Simon Poole posted a while ago
for the dialer bug in UniTerm 2.0e. Here it is:
--------------------------snip,snip--------------------------------------
If the `Retries' filed in the dialer setup dialog is set to 0 or nothing,
the dialer can not be aborted. Fix by:

	- setting `Retries' to one (this utilizes another bug, that the
          number is actually the total number of tries),
or

	- patch the 2.0e 004 executable:

          Byte (decimal)    2.0e 004             005
          44995             52 (Dec) (34 Hex) -> 53 (Dec) (35 Hex) 
          55917             87       (57    )    93       (5D    )

          This will increase the edit number to five and fix both
          bugs (`Retries' will really mean the number of retries
          not the total number of tries).
