ECU doesn't seem to work on my system, as I can't see the characters
(they are in an invisible color).  I have got it to work in the past,
but it's definitely screwy.

TIP seems to be bad broke or really old - all of the baudrates are
1200, 2400, and after I changed all of the approriate files it just
initializes and hangs up.

What's the recommended way to dial in to my Netcom account so I can
launch slirp and do a 'slattach'?  I can't even get kermit as the port
isn't there...  I have no net connection until I can get a simple
dialout working.
