Hello All.

Ive been using T-mail for DOS for many years to collect my
mail on my desktop computer. Recently Ive been trying to use
it to do the same using a laptop and PCMCIA mobile phone modem
but I just cant get it to dial out. AFAICS, all the settings
are right. I tried the laptop with a PCMCIA modem to the landline 
and that was ok. I tried dialing out using the mobile and T-mail's
built in terminal program and that worked - I reached my Boss's
BBS. Its just the normal polling out that doesnt work. If
I look at the log for these, T-mail writes "NOMODEM" . I
normally use X00 but suspecting a Fossil problem I switched
to ADF; but no change. What I cant understand is why, if T-mails
terminal can find and use the modem, why wont T-mails main dialer?
T-mail initialises the modem ok. I can even get it to dial
by doing Alt-Z and then ATDTnnnnn. Its weird. Any Ideas?





Bye now,
