I just bought a Pro* 2400 internal modem. It dials the number of the mainframe(I can hear the dial tone) fine but after that nothing happens. The software I am using is Procomm. The manual for the modem is so confusing that I can hardly know what is going on. I hope that somebody can point out what the possible reasons are. Thanks in advance! Ying Xie ying@hubcap.clemson.edu

I have no idea why this has been posted to unix-pc.general -- if you're using Procomm on an internal modem that is surely on some kind of PC/AT??? However, to answer the question: the first thing to find out is whether your phone is pulse instead of tone. I don't have Procomm in front of me, but one of the screens -- I think Modem Settings -- has a setting for the dial prefix. It should be ATDT. Try changing it to ATDP and see if this works. -- Jim Rosenberg CIS: 71515,124 decvax!idis! \ WELL: jer allegra! ---- pitt!amanue!jr BIX: jrosenberg uunet!cmcl2!cadre! /
