Hi Patrick,

Are you able to dial at all, even with the weird behaviour? 

I've seen this on several occasions helping others install their systems
at our BSD club. I've never had a chance to pinpoint the exact cause
(e.g. model of modem, COM port, CMOS settings, etc.) but I don't recall
not being able to get anyone to dial out after a bit of effort.

If you're not dialing at all, what type of modem are you using and on
which port? 

Dru
