Possibly.  My intention was to save myself work with the thing.  That
didn't work, and I'm not sure it's worth the trouble to continue.
I've now installed a soft phone, which has some advantages, though I'm
still trying to find my way around.  For those of you who are
interested, I've written up quite a bit in my diary
(http://www.lemis.com/grog/diary.html), and there will be still more
tomorrow.
