Shiva's LanRover also has this feature.  Unfortunately, I suspect
Ascend does not.

We have an 1800 here, now.  I don't want to have to replace it.  There
are other things I like about the 1800.

In an email exchange with a shiva engineer, I get the feeling the
Shiva will do almost all I want the 1800 to do, plus I get an 8 bit
clean path.

How do I submit a feature request to Ascend?  I think I have to talk
with that infernal Ascend Answering machine again?
