I tried this, and can talk to the modem ok, thanks. The problems seem to start when I try to use the Hayes dialer (once I include the du: command). When I try to dial using the Hayes dialer, the init strings seem to be sent to the modem (the RD and SD lights flash, the OH light flashes briefly, and then the sequence starts again. I have looked at the dialer source (I am a C programmer), and nothing seems to jump out at me. The dialer is failing during the hay_sync() function call. The routine does not seem to be getting a '0' status, or 'OK' status from the modem. (When I connect directly to the modem, using your suggestion above, I get an 'OK' after typing 'AT<cr>'. On a (maybe) related note, I get strange happenings when I try to use 'cu'. I can dial out and connect at 28800. When I try typing anything, nothing seems to be sent or received by the modem (the lights do not flash). This is a brand new Hayes Accura 288 external, and it seems to be working OK since I can talk to it, dial (using cu), get a connection, etc. Any help on either of these would be most appreciated. -- Stephen ______________________________ Stephen Couchman | scouch@io.org
