I love Crosstalk and use it regularly, but that aspect is a real pain when you need to evaluate and test out other communications packages as well. The first thing you need to do is to pry open the black plastic cover around the front of the modem (where the lights are). Just use a small screwdriver or something with a small enough edge to fit under the plastic guard on the side. The following table shows, for each switch, the default Hayes factory setting and the proper setting for operating Crosstalk: FACTORY CROSSTALK SWITCH SETTING SETTING 1 DOWN UP 2 UP UP (NOT USED BY XTALK) 3 DOWN DOWN (NOT USED BY XTALK) 4 UP DOWN 5 DOWN UP (IF YOU WANT AUTO-ANSWER) 6 DOWN UP 7 UP UP (FOR RJ-11 JACK, DOWN FOR RJ-12) 8 DOWN DOWN After you've changed the settings, turn on the modem, start up XTALK and you should (eventually) see the prompt "ENTER NUMBER FOR FILE TO USE:" on the bottom line of your screen. Enter the number for the file "NEWUSER", and answer the questions with responses appropriate for the system to which you wish to connect. One of those questions asks you for the phone number - Crosstalk will dial it for you. -- Jim Gogan N.C.
