The federal
government utilizes the Medicare Data Communication Network (MDCN) and the
AT&T global dialer for MDS transmission to all states. Per CMS, this is not
going to change anytime in the immediate future. The dial-up with the analog
phone line is the only way!! >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/11/03 12:44PM >>> When I inquired to Meyers and Stauffer about this, they told me now, you had to use the dial up network, I would call where you transmit to.

What they do now to keep the modem separate from the network is to have me go into a hardware profile that is separate from the network. /---------------------------------------------------------- The Case Mix Discussion Group is a free service of the American Association of Nurse Assessment Coordinators "Committed to the Assessment Professional" Be sure to visit the AANAC website.
