X-VMS-Mail-To: CPM I am running MEX 1.14 on my Apple (kudos Nightowl !). Anyway, either with or without the Smartmodem overlay, I can't seem to enter a '*' as part of the number... it's an invalid number if I do. The MEX doc says that it doesn't stop you from entering what you want, but I of course have the source for the overlays I', using and it doesn't do it ! (Sticking to the typical ATDT 1-615-etc. works fine.) I want to do an 'ATDT *70,' to disable my call-waiting. Grumble. Does anybody dial a '*' into their MEX ? Thanks ! r c s - - - P.S.> if you are using the MFE gateway to ARPA from your own subnet and don't have a double header like I do, could you please tell me how you did it ?
