I may have missed this, but why do you want this? I ask because if you
just want to see what the modem bank is spitting back at you, then this
could be done without a "terminal window".

The other thing to look at would be "expect". I seem to recall that it was
possible to get expect to return control to the user after some event. So
you could write an expect script to do all the dialing stuff, and then
have it give you back control of the terminal once a connection is
established.

Cheers,

Raymond
