This is really not even a sofware question -- it's between the modem and
your PBX. The software tells the modem to dial, and from that point on,
the modem is dealing with what it thinks is the phone line.
Now if your modem has trouble dealing with "get an outside line, wait for
secondary dialtone", there is not much the software can do about it if it
does not know what kind of modem you have. Does it have a command to
enable/disable adaptive dialing? If so, what is it? What is its command
to "wait for secondary dialtone"? How is the owner of this computer supposed
to operate the modem without a manual?
It might help to do the following. Tell Kermit 95 to:
set tapi line
And then:
show dial
show modem
Use the mouse to copy these displays and email them to:
kermit-support@columbia.edu
By the way, it doesn't really help to say that the modem works with AOL,
since AOL is its own self-contained, proprietary universe. Who knows
what it's doing. A more pertinent question would be whether it works with
HyperTerminal.
