For Terminal-Server sessions for e.g. ISDN-UUCP/ISDN-ZCONNECT etc calls ?
I also have an E-Link ISDN TA which also doesn 64k/HDLC and X.75 but no
V.120 so no chance of connecting to a PM3 for this purpose ...
AOL for example is also a Terminal-Server session from the Portmasters
point of view. In the States they do V.120 but in Germany they use X.75
