Tenney) Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link, Sausalito, CA Lines: 14 I had the same problem for a long time. It works ok on a plus, but doesn't work on an SE. Very simply, my RS232 cable passes the DTR signal thru from Mac to modem, and Hypercard DROPS DTR!!!! This is the only program I know of that starts a dial command and drops dtr before giving the modem a chance to finish dialing, let alone for the dialed number to answer. One simple solution is to force that line high. I'm using a MacVision which has a little box that puts power onto that line (for the SE) which makes the SE look lkike a plus and voila, Hypercard works on the SE. Hey Apple, when ya folks gonna clean this up? Glenn
