Thanks for the suggestion.  I can get RAS to attempt to "initialize" 
the modem now, but *always* at 19200 :(

The only speeds that I can connect at are 4800, 9600, 14400 & 28800 
(hmmm, *very* modemy), but irrespective of which speed I use, RAS 
always sets the port speed to 19200 and says "initializing modem" 
'till I drop DTR.

I get a small amount of garbage - consistent garbage - but I can't 
seem to get things to agree.

Arrrgggghhh !
