	As I mentioned in my previous responce to this question, you can do 
this with Red Ryder, MicroPhone, etc. but you will not be able to dial. 
	The reason I am repeating myself on this one is that the Mr. Silverberg
has a misunderstanding of the 'modem configuration mechanism' in RR and I
would like to correct it.  What RR 11.0 gives one is something that, in
MicroPhone II we refer to as 'Modem Drivers'.  They are basically scripts which
control how to DIAL, HangUp and have the modem autoAnswer.  Since you have a 
'dumb' modem these drivers do ABSOLUTELY NO GOOD!

	Hope that clears things up for both you and Mr. Silverberg.
