- I can't seem to get Microlink to work properly and I haven't been able to figure
- it out (I'm obviously missing something simple).
-
- I want to be able to dial into work. The sequence I would type in in "dumb
- terminal" mode would be...
-
- ATDTxxxxxxxWyyyyy#Wzzzz#
-
- where
-
- xxxxxxx is the phone number I want to dial
- yyyyy is a code number that you dial in when you get a short dial tone
- zzzz is a second "service" number to dial in again when you get another
- dial tone.
-
- After this, you would get a standard paragraph (blah, blah, blah) and finally
- a service prompt, say,
-
- tty1234a>
-
- at which you would type in the unix nodename to connect to, say, "mynode"
-
- then you get the standard UNIX login prompt.
-
- My problem is that I have be unable to get any portion of this to work either
- from a script or from a "dumb terminal" mode. When I use the "disconnected"
- mode, I can type the "ATDT" string but as soon as I get the service prompt
- (tty1234a>), Microlink drops the carrier!
-
- Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong or have a script that
- may enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong? I do have the modem selected
- (correctly) as a Microcom 32bis.
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- BTW, if someone has a 800# or an email address for the Microlink vendor, could
- you please let me know via email?
-
- Thanks,
- Norm.
