   as well today as it did 20 years ago. I can login to the MBBS console of   
   course, and I am able to login via serial over a null modem connection. I am   
   also able to telnet in by    
   way of a Digi PortServer.

   actually a "phone call".

   with it seems to suggest that the card is working as intended.

   also, you might want to read the msg files in a text editor.   
   I remember they used to give notes and switch settings
