I've just gotten 1.1.5.1 up and running on my home system
and am having a problem. What are folks using for outbound
terminal software (dial out to work)? I am having trouble
getting ANYTHING to work, and I REALLY don't want to use
cu or kermit.

PLEASE tell me there's an alternative. Any pointers, help,
or horror stories appreciated. Outbound modem communications
is the one ABSOLUTE requirement for my home system. I've been
messing with the 'xcomm' package (which is SysV bias'ed :-),
and can get it to compile but it still doesn't work.

HELP! Email prefered but post if you like.
