Sure works from Windows.  ;-))  And unless my old Sportster can 
suddenly pull down files at 7kps, it's ISDN.

In my hand; and not very well.  (Actually, I've been looking for an init
string in the manual, but I can't find anything that looks right.)

When I issue the command, the main light on the front of the TA goes on.
It also says, in kana, that it's connecting digitally ("data" as opposed to 
"analog"), and it shows the number it's calling.  But the light goes off 
bloody fast, and then it goes on again (the disconnect sign) and it ever 
so politely informs me that I owe NTT another dime.  It does *not* bow, 
however, and I'm thinking of suing NEC over this.  ;-)
