   actually, frontdoor is expecting a FOSSIL, period... what is on the other side   
   of that FOSSIL frontdoor doesn't care about... frontdoor does send the   
   standard analogue modem AT commands, though, so the FOSSIL should either eat   
   them or convert them to whatever the other side needs... in the same manner   
   that the FOSSIL will send a "RING" to frontdoor so that it knows there is an   
   incoming connection...

   i think the biggest thing is to have either an all in one FOSSIL/telnet shim   
   or at least a working FOSSIL that can talk to a telnet shim... i'm saying   
   telnet shim but it could be any shim... these same type things were used back   
   in the day when ISDN first came around so that frontdoor could talk to the   
   ISDN device ;)   
      
   BTW: what's your real name? this is a fidonet echo... you should use your real   
   name in the header or at least sign your messages with your real name... eye   
   of the beholder 2 is over there on the other side of the park ;)
