See my article from a few years back: http://www.os2voice.org/VNL/past_issues/VNL0606H/feature_1.html These modems use an extension of the Hayes modem protocol and usually connection is started using *99# but sometimes you'll also need to put in the APN(?) - the network name. -- Cheers/2 Ed Checkout my new (WIP) eComStation Australia Podcast - search for eComStation at iTunes or Podcastblaster.com or add the RSS feed http://feeds2.feedburner.com/eComStationAustralia to Thunderbird.
