what with the recent appearance of vlt 4.824, i decided to see if it was worth ditching the version i've been using (4.426? i think that's it). it seems very nice, except that all of the vlt scripts that have worked seemingly forever all fail.... the command send "ATDP5447787*R" no longer dials my modem. what blindingly simple thing am i missing? =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rick Pim bitnet:rick@qucdnee Department of Electrical Engineering rick@qucdnee.ee.queensu.ca Queen's University, Kingston (bitnet:rick@qucdnast) (613) 545-6772 (rick@bill.phy.queensu.ca) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Anyway, because of the changes, all the scripts must be rewritten using the new syntax. I don't think this will change again (at least not for the foreseeable future), so it will be painful at first, but it will be worth it in the long run.
