Doh!  I thought that there was an easier way to escape the escape
sequence.  Too much Unix -- '\+\+\+' :-)

But, still, isn't a string of characters that the modem won't transfer
something that the communications system on a PC should handle?

Anyway, I'm starting to get nostalgic about the old BBS days -- maybe I
should put my old one up again?  But, they just haven't the same since I
started using the WWW, and telnet BBSs just don't do it for me.
