For those of you who have been having trouble getting Wincomm to dial, let me clarify one feature which may have some of you confused. Wincomm has three modes of operation: Terminal, Phone, and PC to PC. PC to PC is a laplink or host type of file transfer operation. Phone sessions are simply address books which also dial the number. NOTE: Phone sessions are not useful for connecting to other computers. They are simply for calling other people. Terminal sessions are used for connecting to other computers. They do terminal emulations, file transfer, etc. There have been several people expressing problems with getting Wincomm to connect. One possible problem is that they may be using the Phone session thinking that it is the phone list similar to Procomm's. It is not. Make sure that if you are calling a computer, you use a Terminal session and not a Phone session. If you have questions, e-mail me. I hope that this clears up a problem for some of you. Butch
