It hasn't been broken since 2.0.5. I've had it work *flawlessly* on my
dedicated connection since then, with *NO* problems whatsoever. The
only time it fails is when the remote end doesn't answer the phone.
I've appended the relevant files/snippets from my setup at the end. If
that doesn't work then your modem isn't setup correctly. Make sure the
modem control lines follow the world and are not simply 'forced' on.
