Cedar Rapids, IA | Operator-assisted dialup and Win 7 I am having one heck of a problem. We are moving from XP to 7 at work. We dial directly into remote computers running XP Pro. Some of these sites require us to manually dial in.
For whatever reason, in Windows 7 we are not getting the connect option once we dial. I select the connection, tell it to dial, and all I get is a modems are connection window. I should be getting another window with a connect button. Once you dial the number, you click the connect button, and the modems handshake. This is how it works in XP, and how help says Windows 7 should work.
I have tried older sportster modems, and new win modems without any luck. Does anyone know what might be the problem? If I turn off operator-assisted dialing, I can connect to sites just fine. I cannot go without it, that is not an option.
Also, we use a program called Laplink for some older machines that have yet to be updates to XP. When I select the operator assisted option there, I get the expected window, and it is the same window that should appear under the Windows connection. |

You can use Hyperterm to connect,then you can then open your other program after the handshake..
Simply enter this into hyperterm
atat [The # here] and then add a semicolon (;) (This puts the modem in standby mode (For more tones entered from you,etc)
Example: atdt 18004443333;
When you hear the modem answer,type ATO and your modem should handshake with the host....
Then close Hyperterm and open your other program 
Good luck! |
