True...but that's why I qualified that with "for anything I've wanted...". I tend to be involved with different sorts of computers in different locations. Between that and lack of an accurate crystal ball, I have "portability" in my list of within-reason requirements :-). At any rate...I don't remember the original question, but from the subject line...easy ways to force a modem to hangup might be to turn it off or unplug the phone line from it (does that actually hangup? I don't think I've tried it). Scott Blachowicz Ph: 206/283-8802x240 Mathsoft (Data Analysis Products Div) 1700 Westlake Ave N #500 scott@statsci.com Seattle, WA USA 98109 Scott.Blachowicz@seaslug.org
