Yeah, I remember working with the CPF level 3 guys. I once did something 
that wasn't officially supported (I called out on a bisync modem but 
wanted to be the slave rather than the master) but also wasn't 
specifically NOT supported by the manual.  I was on the phone with the 
guy who actually wrote that part of the code, listening to him say "Gz, 
I never figured someone would do THAT.  Alright, I'll get you a patch 
later today."  And he did!
