I don't have my Hayes manual with me, so I don't remember what the DIP switches change, but I wonder if setting system flag -38 would help? This is the "append linefeed" flag, and causes the 48 to end each line with a CR/LF, not just a CR. I'm suggesting this on the possiblility that the Hayes is looking for both a CR and a LF. -- Ray rrd@hpfitst1.hp.com
