How can I set up my machine to allow dial up access? I have only one modem, but would like to be able to dial into it. I found reference in the archives to setting modem S0 register to 1, and a couple of other things that I didn't understand. It's obvious that I'm completely clueless. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where to find out the basics of modems etc.? I really don't want to waste anyone's time by having them give me a well-written, detailed explanation that I don't even understand. Thanks, Peace, Dave
