Some of the programmers in my department do use the DTR dialing feature so that when they turn on their terminal the modem starts dialing the RIT dial in numbers. The MT224E modems support optional class 5 MNP error correction and data compression. The feature you are looking for is called DTR dialing and when this is turned on and stored, the modem will dial the number in slot "0" of it's memory when ever it see's DTR go from a low to a high state. Dialing can be aborted if you wish not to have it autodial in some cases. You should be able to find the MultiTech modems in various catalogs are they are becomming quite popular now. I have been getting real good prices from our local supplier of these modems even though their list price is high. Steve Good PS by the way I did try to reply via mail, but mail was rejected. I had used the "r" command in "rn" I figured this info may be of use to others so I am posting it now. -- ___ ___ ___ Steve Good ...uunet!ccicpg!cci632!ritcsh!steveg |@/o o\@| @/- -\@ @/o o\@ Network Administrator BITNET%"SNGDCO@RITVAXD" | \ o / | / o \ \/-\/ Rochester Institute of Technology (716)475-2702 \ --- / | --- | /---\ <-THREE MONKEYS INCORPERATED
