It has been offline for a while as I am short on serial ports, but it will =
be back up 24/7 soon. If you need to use it just send a message here and I'=
ll start it. Keep in mind you'll need a good quality analog phone line to g=
et this to work properly, modems do not work well with the digital phone li=
nes that are common now.
