Hello Hal and thanks for the info,

I just recalled that the first time I tried it, I didnt hear the dialtone. So, I went into one of the tabs and unchecked the <wait for dialtone> box. So, with the box checked, it wouldnt dial. With the box unchecked (no waiting) it dials.

So, after I hit <send> I do not hear a dial tone ... It just immediately starts to dial the number ... then I get the tone every couple of seconds as you describe and it times out after 20 or so tones (I guess a minute or so).

I dont hear the other end ringing. And, I think that after I hit <send> I should hear the dial tone or the message waiting beep beep beep before it starts dialing but I dont hear the dial tone or the message waiting beep beep beep.

I tried several formats for entering the number and I finally settled on just a string of numbers and then it dialed without an error code.

I went through ever tab and then the control panel - modem tabs. ???

Yes, BVRP correct. That was working fine on my celeron 1.7 W98 system. Thanks for the link. I kinda assume it wont work vista.

Hal, thanks very much. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
