TBH, i doubt it's worth it. These things are from 1994 - sounds like
you've got exactly the same one as me (purchased from qprfootballclub
on
ebay?). Just wondered if it was possible to get it to do anything
useful.
Shall prolly just re-ebay it ;)

Incidentally, when you dial in with a modem, it just sends 22- 22- 22-
over and over before giving up and dropping carrier.
