Hi. I just got a Hayes 2400 baud modem for my Mac, but as usual it's driving me crazy. I'm using Kermit (hey, it's free) but when I imput "atdt xxx-xxxx" to make it dial I run into a glitch. It gets a dial tone and then I hear the touch tone beeps as it dials. Then nothing happens. I think it could be because I don't have touch tone service and that's why the tones don't get any results. If this is true how do I make my modem simulate a rotary phone? Any help is greatly appreciated since the microcomputer consultant down here didn't have the foggest idea what I was talking about and couldn't be made to understand. (some consultant).

I believe the problem is that "atdt" means "dial touchtone". Try using "atdp" for "dial pulse' instead, and see what happens? At least, I _think_ this is the correct sequence. Look in your manual -- it should have a summary of Hayes commands. << Brian >> | Brian S.

I believe "atd xxx-xxxx" is the Hayes command for rotary dial-up. The extra "t" in "atdt" stands for touch-tone. You might also want to verify you have kermit setup for the proper speed, parity, stop-bits for the host you are calling. Sorry, I do not know what the Kermit set-up stuff is; I use something else. tony

(some consultant). I agree. Some consultant. The answer is: use ATDP for pulse dialing. Simple, huh? =============================================================================== | Glenn L.

"at" means you are using the "at" command set; "d" means dial; "t" means "tone". If you want pulse dialing, type "atdp xxx-xxxx". For many modems, and probably your Hayes, the default is pulse, so you could also type "atd xxx-xxxx". >Any help is greatly appreciated since the microcomputer consultant >down here didn't have the foggest idea what I was talking about and >couldn't be made to understand. (some consultant). Most of our computer consultants are exactly the same. Sigh. Ken Kreshtool kik@wjh12.harvard.edu

Try atdp xxx-xxxx if you have pulse service.
