Thanks!
I'll give them a try.
Uh, I know virtually nothing about modems and typing in
command sequences to them.
If your instructions above aren't a 100% cookbook
no-thinking-required procedure, maybe you could add a
thing or two, if you think it would help?
And -- modem is US Robotics (el cheapo) faxmodem 56k,
maybe three or four years old.
And, do you know of some sun patch that fixes the
solaris problem? (Yes, I'll download the beta kermit.)
Thanks again.
