- Well we don't have an Windows INT14 emulator ... yet, but our
- BWCOM14 package loads before Windows and provides a Hayes Modem emulator
- interface. Therefore a Windows Terminal emulator which uses INT14 can use
- standard ATDT commands to connect to a TELNET host. After the session is
- terminated, the INT14 emulator returns to command mode and accepts additional
- ATDT commands.
