Once you have entered CONNECT, you can enter your familiar Hayes modem commands directly from the keyboard (in a similar manner to your C-64 Kermit). The MODEM command builds a menu from modem commands in the file you mentioned. I have mixed feelings about the modem command. The modem commands that I select work part of the time. For instance if I select ATDP2941200, the modem dials and the connection is made. Sometimes I am placed correctly in the CONNECT mode after the modem connects, other times I have to Quit the modem command and type CONNECT once the modem connects. I'm not sure if it is Kermit's problem or the telecommunications system I am reaching. Perhaps you are experiencing the same problem. Wayne Hauber
