Well, that sounds great except for one problem -- I don't have a
firmware ROM.  If you could give me the source, or just tell me where
all the firmware ROM calls are and what they're supposed to do, I'll
dig up dialing routines, etc. out of all the old Cat programs (I have
a nice dialer I pulled from a program which I'm pretty sure was
intended for phreaking that works exactly like the AE dialer (as far
as /, a, etc) when passed a BASIC string....  I just have to find it).

Anyway, you might want to send the driver to whoever wrote the program
originally so he can include it in any new version of the program.
