Subject: New version of DialPC available (Forward From [EMAIL PROTECTED])
**Hello All,
I stumbled across this email that I was saving and wanted to pass it
along. In the recent past there were some who were wanting the packet
driver I believe it was in a seperate offering from Uncle Dave. Some
mentioned even paying extra for it and I cannot recall what happened to that
idea. However perhaps this information below is something near to what
others were wanting and if so let me know or if not then just strike your
"d" key after reading. I haven't any expierence with this product but if it
is something that allows for greater access to the net I would be interested
in hearing back about what and how this little program could help all of us!
Hope it's what you were searching for.
Take care,
Mark

Well, it's a modem software tool. You can create a script, that DialPC will
run, that will
1) Open your comm port,
2) send strings to your modem, for instance, to Dial your Internet Service
Provider.
3) Then, it leaves DTR high, and ends, so that a
4) so a packet driver, like DOSPPPD can run, and connect you to the
Internet.
5) Once DOSPPPD is running, you can run DOSLynx, or email, or whatever.
