[comp.dcom.telecom] AT&T Public Phones - Data Jack

RUBIN@ibm.com (Bill Rubin) (11/16/90)

Can someone out there give me some advice on how to successfully use
the data jack on the AT&T Public Phones in airport lounges with my
laptop computer?  I was quite disappointed to see that you couldn't
autodial with them, and then when I tried to manually dial and sync up
it still would not work.  What is the appropriate sequence of events
and modem commands that I need to do?  There must be a way to make it
work, and it sure would be nice if the instructions on the phone told
you how (ie, what to do after the phone goes into data mode).

I tried calling AT&T customer service about this when I tried it a few
weeks ago, but I got sent from one number to another, to another,
until I finally gave up.
