Yeah, you might get lucky and the 31st attempt succeeds ;)
But seriously it shouldn't be that many attempts before you locate the
correct settings (says someone that never have tried, but mathematical
speaking it's true - of course with a little bit of bad luck it might take
all the diffrent ways you can think of before it works).
Besides, take 10% a day or so, and soon you'll be finished :)

I found it very interesting as well Randy, can we base an entry in the FAQ
on it? (so we finally have something in the FAQ <g>)

Wouldn't it be good if one automated the process atleast a little bit?
You always do the following:

C:\DOS>DEBUG
-D 40:0

So, do like this:

echo D 40:0 > c:\dos\modem.ans
echo q >> c:\dos\modem.ans

and add this line to you autoexec.bat:

c:\dos\debug < modem.ans
