This is the version of DUN included in OSR2.1. It has already been
replaced :-) 

After 6 attempts, you'd have thought that they would have got it

Incidentally, the "winking computers" give you less information than

have to use a telephone handset or guesswork to see if teh othr
modem's died during connection ..
