I have an ATT Unix PC (the 7300) and I want to able to login to a remote machine by dialing manually and then connecting the PC. Anybody out there knows how can I do that? The steps are: 1- dial manually and get a tone. 2- connect the PC 3- login at the remote machine. Question: How should the PC communication be set in order to do that? Thanks Walid Najjar najjar@venera.isi.edu

Hi Guy, This is easy to do, but a little anoying in general. If you are just changing numbers frequently, the best thing to do is to have a "data" entry in your directory which you edit often. There IS NO option similar to the manual voice connect for data trafic from the console of the 7300. [prety stupid hua?] If, on the other hand, you have to dial through some non-automated swithcboard [i.e. manned by a little wet-ware (people) ;-)] you will need the following: (I figgured this out for when we have to do emergency matienence on our telephone switches. When the T1 lines go down you have to have the opperator connect you manually) First: Because the phone manager is a real nusance when you try to go outside it's projected uses you will have to connect your handset directly to the wall. This will require some sort of "T" tap [available at any Radio Shack or whatever] Second: Because the phone manager _requires_ tha there be a valid number dialed at the begining of any "outgoing" data session you will need to create a dummy entry in the dialer directory. I suggest some name like "manual". You MUST give a phone number, the best "number" to use is a single "#" as that tone pair will neither spook modems or phone systems no matter who makes them [at least to date] The connect sequence goes like this: 1) Make shure the 7300 is ready to dial "data" on the approprate line. 2) Place the connection through the manual handset [the one on your data line that DOES NOT go through your phone manager jack. 3) When you are connected to the modem, [I am assuming you are talking to operators and shuch trickey things to make your connection here. If you are not, than you should not be reading this], "dail" the "manual" entry. by the time the pc grinds through the setup, dial, and carrier routines about 15sec. may have passed so be brisk here 4) Hang up the "manual" phone handset. 5) Act nonschalant ;-) and go for it.
