Ah yes the good old days.. I to had forgotten about the AT commands. I have (1) dial-up account (this one) but I don't have a modem on the computer. I have a 3Com modem/4 port router. They stopped making it :( Just plug the ethernet cable into the modem (does dhcp also) and connect the modem to the phone line. Was just something to think about checking. I'm trying to add new test to Salive on my little home network.. I've gotten the maintenance utility working, so I was espanding on things to test. Also I thought it might get so more messages on ways people are using such a great program... This from someone that's be using the program from pre-version 1.....
