Care to share your REXXwonderscripts with us here? I am doing shell
now, but want to move to VSoup as well (and keep shell with the
.newsrc's synchronized).

Can you show us how it can be done using DOIP (Dial Other
Int.Provider), pppdial.cmd, and your scripts with VSoup, all the way
through import/expire functions?

Thanks.
