I would be very grateful if someone can help me with the following
problem that is making me age prematurely:
I am trying to use a Smarteam modem with PROCOMM and when I try to
dial (using ALT-D, option m (manual), atdt ...-....), I hear the normal
telephone tone (same as when you pick up the phone to dial) along with the
actual dialing superimposed on it. After a few seconds, a taped message from
the operator states that the call did not go through and that I should try
again.
If I use a modem which has a jack for the telephone line as well
as for the telephone, then the only way I can establish connection is by
ALT-D and atd followed by the manual dialing of the number using the telephone -
while the phone rings, I press RETURN on my keyboard and once I hear the
carrier from the number I dialed manually, I put the receiver down and I
am able to hear the carrier through the micro's speaker and able to connect
fine.
I tried playing around with XTALK and the software ALWAYS thinks that
I am on line (which happens once I turn the modem on). However, as I am
particularly interested in sticking with PROCOMM, suggestions for PROCOMM
would be preferred.
I would appreciate suggestions/responses directly through e-mail.
Many thanks in advance!!

If the tone is to short the phone lines may not be able to tell what numbers you were calling. I don't remember what the code is, but it should be in you modem manual, and it may be in the procomm documentaion as well. Good luck!
