   I have been playing with FD again, I hope to be in the front seat ready for any   
   future releases.  Anyway, here's the setup.... I run the main BBS on a   
   Raspbary Pi box.  I run a VM with Windows 10 32Bit to run some DOS doors...   
   The host PC to the VM is a new box that didn't have an expantion slot to fit   
   a PCI card so that I could add a serial card.  The work around is a   
   USB->Serial addaptor   
      
   I was having a problem with the VM from time to time not initializing the   
   modem... then the program would drop out.  I fixed this by playing with the   
   power features in windows... now the system does not use a screen saver or   
   any of the advanced power features.... I don't think it's the screen saver as   
   much as it was the advanced power features... causing things to sleep after a   
   few minutes of no activity.   
      
   Here's the problerm though.... when In go to use the terminal, or the   
   mailer... but in the terminal program if I try to dial out with the use of   
   ALT-D or P ... call from the nodelist or phone book... I get an error message   
   and it doesn't dial... or if it does dial it'll dial 4 or so number, of an 11   
   number dial and not connect obviously.     
      
   Now, if I were in the terminal and I was to type by hand ATDT18005551212 ...   
   a number in the phone book or the nodelist it would dial the number and   
   connect easy as Pi.   
      
   I;ve played around a little adding a few ~~~ to delay the dialing to make   
   sure the dial tone was present... nothing...   
      
   It is a VOIP line and a USR Veverything modem.   
      
   Ideas??
