Thank you!  I'm currently on a business trip so it will take a few
days to apply.  I'll probably release a new test version of 0.6
so people can try out the new routines.

That is just going to be an issue with the python binary you have.
I believe the Mac version is still 2.3alpha.

Yup.  They are effectively modem (AT) commands.  It also has to
be in that mode to use as a modem.  This is also why I turn off
version info by default.  I may even move it to a seperate
diagnostics menu/dialog.
