I guess this is more common than I thought. We couldn't get tip to work
on an Anchor Automation Signalman Mk XII for the same reason. If only
we had source to remove the problem from the software :-).

A couple of notes about this type of problem:
	- uucp dials without the extra <cr> and hence has no trouble
	- the problem doesn't exist on other modems by the same mfg's
		(USR Courier 2400 works just fine, as do the newer
		Signalman modems)
