  I am brand new in the Amiga World and having difficulty
 with some of its software. Like Handshake. I can't seem to figure out how t
make it work. The following is what I did, Please tell me where did I go wrong.
 1: Downloaded , unarchived the files successfully.
 2: Created a new file MSU.parms and put my university's netwrork # there
 3: Tried to invoke the program from CLI by Handshake -p MSU.parms
 4: The program doesn't recognize the file (Something is wrong with it, donno
 I only put a Ph# there)
 5: Tried to invoke it by : Handshake , alone. Handshake screen appears for a
 couple of seconds and then throws me back to CLI
 6: It never dials the # !!!

 I'll greatly appreciate if anybody can tell me what to do ?
  Hell aot of thanks in advance. 
   Also What to do if you want those incoming calls to not to disturb when
you're downloading some file. (This happens to me alot).    -Cheema
