Thanks to those (John, Jim, Mark, Bernhard) who responded
to my post.  Unfortunately, I had no luck getting dial-in
to work with my DoveFax modem.  I originally asked this:

John Robison (john@oceania.com), Jim Chorn
(onion.rain.com!nestmoi!jim), Mark Adler
(cco.caltech.edu!madler), and Bernhard Nocker
(bnocker@cosy.sbg.ac.at) all suggested the problem was due
to modem echo, some saying it could be caused by a bad
cable.  Jim suggested I try the ATE0 command to turn off
local echo.  Bernhard sent me the modem profiles (with the
AT&V command) that might work.

Unfortunately, I can't do anything about it if the cable is
to blame.  The DoveFax's cable is an unconnectable part of
the unit.  I tried the ATE0 and suggested modem profiles,
with no luck.  I'm starting to think I need to save up and
get a ZyXEL...

Meanwhile, has ANYONE out there got a DoveFax modem setup
for dialin successfully?
