Is there any standard they are violating?
Any software that processes phone numbers should expect punctuation and
remove it. If you tell your modem to dial "08 12-34.5678" it should work
fine. Redundant spaces, dots, dashes etc are common and easily removed.
I'm surprised mgetty doesnt already do this. Hopefully Gert will accept a
patch.
