I am having trouble  dialing up the university mainframe and I was
wondering if someone could help me sole this problem.

I am using a Mac Classic, with the new system software, Kermit 0.98(62)
ans a Cardinal 2400 Baud modem. The problem is that when I dial,
the modem (or perhaps Kermit) hangs up the phone after about three
rings. The mainframe doesn't always answer that quickly, and so I don't get
connected. This is especially bad when it is busy, and someimes it takes me
a dozen times to be able to connect (and yesterday, I wasn't even able to.)

My question is... Is there any way to change the time out period using 
either Kermit or the Modem or something...

The command I currently use to dial the modem
 atdt xxxxxxx

 E-Mail responses would be prefered....


					Thanks,

					Nuno
