This will simply drop you directly to the modem, so you gotta dial with AT commands directly. However, it's the only way that doesn't require touching any configuration file beforehand. If you wanna break out to start slattach locally, use ``~^Z'', where the tilde must come right after a newline, and ^Z is Control-Z. This will just suspend the cu process without closing the modem (which would cause it to hangup). -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
