- You need to send that character to the switch, that happens AFTER the
- modem connection is established, before you are connected to the target
- system.
- So, the sequence is... 1-you dial the modem and are connected
- 2-you send the character to the switch 3-the switch talks to you and
- lets you make a selection of systems 4-you are connected to and log
- on to the target system.
- Any standard comm package should let you do this.
