Type +++, do some modem command at your end, then ATO {return} to go back. Now, wait forever. I think ATO is acting more like ATDT. It wants to hear a dial tone, ringing, then carrier. ATO really ought to so straight away to trying to sync with the carrier from the other end. I have run into this problem when I have to originate a call from my Trailblazer which I dialed by hand to get to the modem extension through a human PBX operater. On a Hayes, you can ATO and it will work. The solution is to pick a mode in the Telebit setup that forgoes call progress detection. I haven't tried this yet, but I think that will do the trick. --Bill
