Minicom is now accessing the modem and I can use it in other logins besides root. However, the goofy interface continues to cause trouble. Part of this may be because I am using a Braille display that shows the framing characters as question marks. I'm even having trouble getting the program to quit. It gives a yes or no choice, but doesn't respond in the way most programs do. Is there a way to just get it to quit when it is told to do so, without making sure that that's what you want it to do. My modem is a special one which can generate either 300 baud ASCII or baudot. I am getting the messages I expect from it, but so far minicom won't dial out. It also seems to want to communicate at 38400 baud. At least that''s what is on the screen. John -- Computers to Help People, Inc. http://www.chpi.org 825 East Johnson; Madison, WI 53703
