	How important is tone dialing?? Depends what you want to talk to.
there are various networks around that only support tone dialing, so if
you are buying a modem and planning to go work somewhere else (like various
bell places) in a few years, you may need tone dialing.

	I have a switch in my AJ 1259 modem which works (amazingly) like the
RV switch to drop DTR when i want to hang up the phone...thus giving me back
my phoone line without unplugging the modem from the phone jack.  Since the
AJ modem really is a clone of the RV modem, any AJ dealer should be able to do
the same for you -- the ones in Toronto (Unionville) will for $12 (Canadian).
AJ modems are also cheaper than the RV ones.
