My first attempt was to put it in the dial >string but the number was too long and the timing became incorrect. - When you say "the timing became incorrect", what do you mean exactly? - Normally, the modem register settings and commas (,) in the dial string control the timing... - When the dial command is given, the modem is NOT going to tell you anything except an error message or a CONNECT/SPEED/PROTOCOL message if it connects and negotiates successfully with a modem on the other end. Therefore, the timing of the various DTMF signals is NOT scriptable in the sense that you can wait for certain responses from the modem to initiate the next sequence of numbers. Reconsider the second comment, and apply that knowlege to your situation...if you have further details (modem type, register settings etc.) please post them.... > >I read about "chat", if that is my solution, I don't understand how to >implement it. > > Tim Baird Dominus Fecit "The Lord Made" Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer etc. etc
