Lately I've been trying to use Uniterm's dialer, and I'm having some problems. I'll have it dial one number, and if it doesn't connect, and I hang-up, I can't change the number I want to dial. In fact, I can't do ANYTHING (except to get it to dial again, and hang-up). I tried pressing <CTRL/C> as it says in the manual, but it doens't do anything. Can anyone spare some advice on what to do? As it is now, I'm stuck with rebooting (AAARRGH!). Thanks! -Steve Coile

I tried >pressing <CTRL/C> as it says in the manual, but it doens't do anything. I had those problems, too. It seems that if you keep pressing <ctrl>c, it will eventually get out of dialing mode. Another option is to leave most of the dialer setup options blank (retries, timeout, fail messages, etc.). Hope this helps some. -andrew krzywdzinski

Thanks! > >-Steve Coile There's a line in the Dialer Setup dialog box called "Retries:". Set this to 1 or any positive number and that problem will be solved. I think zero in this line means try until you connect. -- John Schmitt johns@maccs.dcss.mcmaster.ca ...!unet!utai!utgpu!maccs!johns
