- Yes, that's what I do. Remember, there is a requester that pops up asking
- you if that's the number you want dialed. I hit the OKAY button and and all
- I see are a few flashes of my modem's LED.
-
- Would you give yours a try, and if it works, mail me exactly what your
- serial prefs were and what exactly you had entered in the pre and post dial
- string? I would raelly appreciate the input. The manual doesn't explain
- the entries at all (mine had ";\013")

- Yeah, I wish the title bar wouldn't always be stuck at 8 pixels. sigh. But
