You probably can reach it thru Start | Program Files | Accessories and look for another folder called hyperterminal. All it is is a very basic communications program. You will have to go into setup and tell it what comm port to use, the bps rate, protocol (8N1 is typical) and then save. I believe there is another pull down called DIAL and you can connect or disconnect from there. Program in a phone number (like your work phone, if no one is there to answer it at night) and click connect. If the modem seizes the line and dials out - that has told you that the basic function of the modem is working. That is what that Boca guy wanted you to do. Good luck. -- Jean Bourvic :>)) Do you want to signoff PCBUILD or just change to Digest mode - visit our web site: http://nospin.com/pc/pcbuild.html
