Using serial port - Dialtone detection?

There is a radio button for this in the Telephone dialling options screen,
you don't even need the setup password for this one. Hopefully the hosting
modem would ignore any dialling you were doing and auto answer, I'm a little
concerned about the lack of any exchange volts unless you have a small pabx
at home. I've done considerable work using modems over self installed
private lines of a Km or 3 but only with modems designed for the job. I'll
try to dig up the AT string required to put a modem into leased line mode
just in case this chipset supports it, I'll post that here when I find it.

There seems to be some hope for changing the serial device (to one of the
real ports). If you do *PPPinfo you get a bunch of parameters displayed
which include serial device and serial speed, not sure where these get
changed though.

*help pppconnect seems to indicate that it should be possible to bring up a
ppp session from the command line specifying the serial device desired. It
mentions that default options are read from InetDbase:PPP.options anyone
know where this is and whether it's from ROM or NVRAM?

PS I'm the optimistic guy who though there was a PCMCIA bus on the board :-(
