We can assume nothing wrong with the computer/modem setup, bacause you
can access the net. The modem dials, but modems can dial at any baudrate
setting, even one that is
not compatable with the remote. So, the questions are:
1. What baud rate, stop bits, parity does the service want? (check
settings on
the working commercial program to find out)
2. Protocol: Does the service expect to connect via SLIP or PPP perhaps?
Or something
else? Does it expect you to be running ansi.sys (sends odd commands to
position
the cursor and set the colors, etc?)
