Hi Keith, if all else fails then there is one solution you could adopt, but it's 
perhaps a bit heretical to mention it in this group(!) - set up another node 
running G8PZT's XROUTER DOS-based s/ware alongside GB7DXG and 
connect the two systems via a wired serial link or AXUDP over a LAN.  
XROUTER has built-in support for dial-in (as well as TCP/IP) and is pretty 
easy to configure and get running.

I believe XROUTER will also run in a Win95/98 DOS box or under DOSEMU 
but I have no experience of it in these configurations.
