Modem Problems

We are trying to connect a USR Sportster 14.4 and a 28.8 USR Sportster, but we are long distance and using a Long-distance provider where I put in a 7 digit prefix, followed by pauses(several) and then dial the number. We can't seem to connect in ICR I, and have thus tried a direct connect with a Dos-based communications package(Quicklink II). We are able to connect for a short while(several seconds) but lose the connection. Any ideas or Help would be appreciated. We seem to connect using this string AT &M0 &K0 &N6 but lose it. Is it "timing out" or..... DK

In a similar vein, is there a modem string text file somewhere? The files in the programs (ICR, ICR II, NCR) have a few, but not nearly enough, apparently. If there's NOT a list out there, I might be willing to compile one...but don't QUOTE me on that one<g>! e-mail, please I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!? Eldred Pickett
