Help! I now have my very own sprint account, which will save me thousands (well tens) of dollars on phone bills. How can I dial the access number, dial my phone number, & dial my account number all with one (or a few) Online! (or Aterm) command(s)? any suggestions appreciated, – Jeff

Jeff, I am not familiar with Sprint as such, but if you have a Hayes compatible modem, you have a few commands that you can put into your dial string. A period will pause the dialing for a period of 2 seconds, and can be used more than once for longer pauses. Register S8 can also be changed to set different lengths of pause. Hope this helps. Regards, Larry.

Jeff, be careful with Sprint as I have found it to be too noisey for data connections. Like MCI, too many "clicks", thats why I use AT&T for all my modem connections. Geo
