Ok, great...
Except the readme file is incomplete - what are all those re, fb, rb, etc.
files? And where is the tik.m40 file that I need?

>Known issues:
>
>* When you bring up a call using the IPXPING command, Answer
> appears in the IPX Route Table as an entry under the Origin
> column. When the call is disconnected, the table returns to normal.
>
>* The MAX does not send IPX RIP Response packets for a
> PPP-encapsulated dialup connection

> handshake fails when a user dials out using either the
> MAX terminal server or the DeskDial client.
>
>* When dialing a busy number, terminal server outdial modems
> do not report BUSY. The MAX detects the busy signal and goes
> on-hook before its modem receives the busy signal. The MAX
> reports Cause Code 17 in the message log, and modems disconnect,
> displaying NO CARRIER. This might be a problem for users or
> scripts that require a modem to report BUSY.
>
>* When Stacking is enabled, PAP-TOKEN-CHAP is not supported.
>
>* Data filters are not supported when used in conjunction with
> Microsoft's CallBack Control Protocol (CBCP)
