two dial(3C) replacements have been posted to the net.  one is simply a
dialer.  i believe it is in volume 6, issues 86 through 88.

a second dial(3C) replacement is a thing i wrote and posted.  it is in
volume 13, issue 59.  however, that version is currently out of date
and needs much work, which has been performed.

send your requests, and if there are enough, i'll repost the new version
complete with bug fixes (and some support for bi-directional logins!!!)
