I am using a MAC SE with a built-in modem to do this. I have modified the phone stack a little. To the dial command i have added a few modem commands and it now reads: send "dial " & quote & dialNumber & quote && "with modem" && quote & "ATS7=0DT" & quote to Hypercard It is the S7=0 that does the trick. The modem does not wait for the carrier but does hang up immediately after dialling. Now i pick up the phone before dialling. The modem takes over, does the dialling en gives the phone back. Hope this helps. Bert de Geus bg@mh.nl Multihouse N.V. The Netherlands
