TRS-80 Model 100: Phone port pinout

Rumor has it that Tom Owad may have mentioned these words:

Yea -- check your other switch - the "ORG/ANS" switch. It's barking out a 
CD for you for the other machine to detect -- necessary 'way back in the 
day' if you were calling into the machine remotely.

[[ ORG meaning 'originating' - you are initiating the call
    ANS meaning 'answer' - someone initiates the call; the M100
        needs to spit out a Carrier Detect for the remote machine
        to recognize. ]]

Mine 'locks' every time (<SHIFT><BREAK> regains control) but only audibly 
whines at me when the 'DIR/ACP' switch is on DIR, or direct connection. 
I've never owned the an acoustic coupler for it, so I can't test that mode.
