Wayne, At my place of employment we use VAXPAC (see Bill Mayhew's message) as the software to control the dial-out. It is invoked through a .COM procedure that first logs the user ID and time to a log file before running the VAXPAC software. After completion the .COM procedure logs the name and time off to the same log file. The problem is, of course, that it does not track the number called. For that, our company records the activity on _all_ phone lines in the Northern Telecom SL-1 System and gets reports by line (including modem lines) of all outgoing calls showing the number called and the time. VAXPAC can be configured with System-wide choices as well as personal choices, and can allow Manual Dial-outs. I don't know how flexable/restrictive this can be made since I'm not in the Systems end and havn't looked behind the sceens on this one. Jeff Read action !t
