actually, frontdoor is expecting a FOSSIL, period... what is on the other side
of that FOSSIL frontdoor doesn't care about... frontdoor does send the standard
analogue modem AT commands, though, so the FOSSIL should either eat them or
convert them to whatever the other side needs... in the same manner that the
FOSSIL will send a "RING" to frontdoor so that it knows there is an incoming
connection...

i think the biggest thing is to have either an all in one FOSSIL/telnet shim or
at least a working FOSSIL that can talk to a telnet shim... i'm saying telnet
shim but it could be any shim... these same type things were used back in the
day when ISDN first came around so that frontdoor could talk to the ISDN device
;)
BTW: what's your real name? this is a fidonet echo... you should use your real
name in the header or at least sign your messages with your real name... eye of
the beholder 2 is over there on the other side of the park ;)
