I haven't found a 'right' way to do this but on boot-up, I had a forced call-out which caused the modem to be properly set. Some modems can be locked to a particular speed, etc. but mine wouldn't do this faster than 9600. Now I have a fax program that sets up the modem on that line. Too bad it doesn't do faxes well. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | 73, internet | lrk@k5qwb.lonestar.org | | Lyn Kennedy | lrk@netcom.com | | pony express = P.O.
