- When you used the other version of Trumpet, did you use the same login
- script (login.cmd)? Even if you didn't, the problem could be in the
- lines:
-
- output "atdt"$number\13
- %ok = [input 60 CONNECT]
- %n = %n + 1
-
- The number 60 could be any number. That is the number of seconds the
- computer waits for the modem to send the "CONNECT" message. After it
- counts to that number, the program will say "NO CONNECT" even if the
- modem is in the middle of establishing a connection. Therefore, you
- might want to try using bigger numbers.
-
- If that isn't it, try the $modemsetup line, that's the initiliaization
- string for your modem.

- Good luck,
