   i used to use Telix on the DOS side of my OS/2... fired it up with a SALT   
   script...   
      
   one of the tasks was to grab the session data from my USR Couriers...   
      
   another task was to answer when the BBS and mailer were down... one should be   
   able to strip a lot of unneeded stuff out of the HOST or maybe even just write   
   a simple one...   
      
   loop waiting for RING...   
   answer...   
   transmit ASCII message... don't even worry about ANSI/ASCII capabilities...   
   terminate the call after a few seconds to ensure the text is sent...   
   return to top of loop...
