Yes, but we want to do some cute caller-id tricks to reserve one of the
lines for the user who ponied up the dialin host (and me, of course).
I'll try the pp= entry on my machine so I can add it to my bag of tricks,
but mgetty is working great now.  If I could just find the punch-down
tool, I'd have three lines up and running.  ;^)
