	This is NOT TRUE!  MicroPhone II has an option for Hardware Handshaking which
works just fine provided that you have properly wired cable.  We have found, 
however, the most 'standard' cables are not in this catagory, but we do include
instructions in the manual for making your own, or where to purchase the proper
cabling for doing hardware handshaking with your particular modem.

(Disclaimer: I work for Software Ventures which write MicroPhone II)
