This thread got me interested in trying this, so I went at it yesterday.
Turned out to be fairly simple (the handbook section on this was very
clear and easy to follow -- good work!).

What I'm most impressed with is how well this works even with ppp on 
demand running, using the same modem/port.  As soon as a ppp session
terminates, the modem resets to auto-answer and receives incoming connects
without a hitch.  

Very nice!
