I am running MEX 1.14 on my Apple (kudos Nightowl !).  Anyway, either
with or without the Smartmodem overlay, I can't seem to enter a '*'
as part of the number... it's an invalid number if I do.  The MEX doc
says that it doesn't stop you from entering what you want, but I of
course have the source for the overlays I', using and it doesn't do it !
(Sticking to the typical ATDT 1-615-etc. works fine.)  I want to do an
'ATDT *70,' to disable my call-waiting.  Grumble.

Does anybody dial a '*' into their MEX ?  Thanks !

P.S.> if you are using the MFE gateway to ARPA from your own subnet and don't 
have a double header like I do, could you please tell me how you did it ?
