Daran,
This is an interesting piece of lateral thinking that deserves to go further
than I think it actually does.
Thank

I trust his judgment that his time is better spent elsewhere.
Agreed!
However, I wonder if there might be some possibilities in trial factoring

For what it's worth, I have had the exact same problem getting illegal

january but had been happening about once a fortnight for months, and _only_
when the modem was heavily in use (Rockwell HCF 56K Data Fax PCI Modem). I

A interesting note, and I forgot to include this in my original post, but
the computer that I encountered the illegal sumouts on was a 500MHz K6 PC.
Perhaps this is a problem when running those software modems on a K6 based
