I would like to know how I can get my modem to Dial a number from a shell command. I.E. Echo ATDT555-1212,,,,,,# >ser: I get the lights to blink but the modem will not go off hook, I set it to ignore the DTR line. All I need is for it to be able to dial my beeper and leave a number, it shouldn't require any intelligence from my modem. Any ideas or suggestions. Thanks .>Scott: <AutoPilot:

Scott – you MIGHT get somewhere with the AUX port. THe SER port uses buffered IO so until you queue up N (see prefs setting) characters it does nothing. Then it sends all those characters out in one swell foop. {@_@}
