Hi Mel,
Other's know more than I but I would change Autologin to "No"
and configure the modem as COM1 if I could. Do you have something on
the other COM's? I don't have a d**n windem but I couldn't get Arachne
to recognize my COM until I set it to COM1. At least it might get you
started. Then you can figure how to change it to another COM if you
have to.
