Thank Tino

I am sure that given a few hours with both a standard phone line and a DS=
L=20
line I would be able to figure out how to do this. It is not a big deal t=
hat=20
way. Unfortunately I do not have this option.=20

What I was hoping for was a bit more detail is how this is exactly done s=
ince=20
I can only test once a month.=20

If that is not feasible then at the next meeting I plan on setting the bo=
x up=20
so that I may download Md 9.1 instead of running connection tests.

Thanks
