It solved my problem too. I connect regularily now to a T2500
locked in at 19.2K baud. I just had to comment out the part
that was trying to switch to tone dial - I'm too cheap to pay
Bell extra money to provide a service that costs them less than
the default :-).

It was Emmet P. Gray (egray at fthood, unless that address is out of date),
author of pcomm. I, too, thank you Emmet.
|Phfix was written without docs (so I had to guess at the invocations) to

|invocation of phfix in the /etc/rc near the end. It seems to work
|"permanently" - ie: it only has to be invoked once on boot.
Same here.
|However, I seem to remember someone telling me that phfix will not work
|with HDB UUCP on the 3b1 because HDB clobbers the setting each time it
|starts.
I've not had that happen. It does not seem to get lost for me.
I am running HDB on a 3.5 system (soon to be 3.51m, but not yet).
