(and I can then enter commands although I > haven't been able to figure out how to make it dial out yet) Perhaps ATDT1234567 or ATDP1234567 where `1234567' is the number you want to dial. Note the first form (ATDT) is for tone dialing and the second form (ATDP) is for pulse dialing. > > So .... am I doing something wrong or is something misconfigured? > > I haven't tried ppp (I think I could do this from my present machine at > work - school won't provide ppp from them directly). > > > ********************************************************* > Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu > http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ > -- Regards, Norman C.
