Hi Andrew,
The original question I asked was about the 740 CDT, which I'm pretty
sure is not a DSP type of modem. I use it all the time for PPP (not
anymore - got cable), and fax, without any special effort. The
difficulty is in trying to take advantage of the telephony capability.
The usual voice command sets I've found for Rockwell and Hayes return
ERROR. I'm guessing it's Toshiba proprietary, which means it's probably
too much effort unless a Toshiba engineer pops up.
