:Having answered (I hope) Billy D'Augustine's question about connecting 
:an outgoing modem to the VAX via an terminal server, I have a related question
:for the *true* experts out there.
: 
:I wish to make my outgoing Hayes compatible modems be 'dial-back' modems. 
:E.g., my users would like to dial in to an incoming-to-the-VAX modem, login, 
:and then run a script which would then call them back via an outgoing-to-
:the-VAX modem. The point behind this is to have the VAX absorb any long
:distance telephone charges instead of the user doing so. However, I can't
:get this scheme to work. I can use 'set host/lat' to connect to the 
:outgoing modem and dial out manually, but the 'set host' program doesn't 
:seem to take any commands from a DCL script. Am I missing something obvious
:here? Also, I have a DCL script (DIALOUT.COM) from Kevin Oberman (LLNL)
:which is suppose do a call back scheme using direct connect modems (which
:I don't have -- is it a sign of the times that I don't have any serial lines
:on my computers any more?) and I can't get the terminal-server-modems to 
:work with it either.
: 
:Any help/advice/hints would be appreciated.
: 

There is an ASSETS program that is available from DEC called ACB
(AutoCallBack). Have your salesperson get you information on this package. It
supports modems on direct lines and terminal servers.

:Thanks,
