   If you are using it in DOSBox then the reason it works seemlessly is because    
   the virtual modem in DOSBox will automatically resolve the phone number to an    
   internet address.   
      
   If Terminate was talking to a real serial port then it would not know how to    
   dial a network ddress, and you'll probably get a NO DIALTONE straightaway.
