[net.dcom] Bug in Racal-Vadic Maxwell 1200 Modem

Beware: maxwell 1200s dial the DTMF tone for "3" when you dial "#".
This caused the field service department of Axiom Technology much
anxiety and consternation, attempting to access a secret trunk through
a ROLM switch recently.

Racal-Vadic engineering is FINALLY on the case, after trying to
discredit me by saying "You know, over 20,000 of these things have
been shipped; how can YOU be reporting a NEW bug?!?"

Get the new PROMS, they are up to REV 70, at least, by now. This
feature is a documented feature; if you need it, it SHOULD NOT BE
a charge-for fix.
