That works. It will dial the number and ring the phone, provided you have a real modem on COM1. If you use DOS's ECHO that way to dial your ISP it will contact the phone line at your ISP, but you will not be presented with a terminal screen for entering your login and password. If you want to get a terminal screen you should use COMTOOL or MINITERM or some other DOS program designed for this purpose. Before dialing with DOS's ECHO command it is a good idea to reset your modem as in: echo AT&F > COM1 Regards, Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/ To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
