Maybe having connection info on how to connect to several different ISPs for examples or perhaps more information as to what exactly is going on. I used to be able to do all sorts of things with modems under dos, but it's been so long I can barely remember anything. I do remember there being an AT setting that most modems had that allowed you to set the volume (S0, S1, etc or S=1, S=2, etc). Would this be an extra AT command just prior to ATDT? or would this be a part of ATZ? I can't remember whether ATZ is the reset or part of the setup... I seem to have lost my USRobotics CD & case with all sorts of useful AT commands :( If I have time somewhere between now & sometime I'll see if I can find generic AT commands & send them Jacques' way as extra info to include. > > thanks for the help :) > > Glad to help.

Ok, now I feel like a complete idiot... I only read that 5 or 6 times over the last 2-3 weeks. I must have been asleep when I glanced over it again the other day. Then again that wouldn't surprise me with this new job... we're setting up a new warehouse, 6am-6pm Mon-Sun is standard, I drag home & fall asleep on the computer :) However, I'm not sure what exactly PAP or CHAP authentication is & I only have a vague idea of what the windows RAS server is. Prior to asking all my questions I did check out the earthlink site to see if it contained any useful info... only thing I found was windows, been there, been hacked.
