Hi, I am back again! I am able to send and ATDT ### and I hear the handshake, but then I get junk characters. I am able to use hypreterm (within Windows) and able to get a connect to the same number. Am I missing something? Is there anything else I can use to dial out? When I dial using a Dial-up-Networking thingy in Windoze, I get a login and get prompted for the passwd, and then issue a ppp command to start getting a connect. Thanks, -Karthik. ------------------------------------------------------------------- It's reassuring to know that if you behave strangely enough, society will take full responsibility for you. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
