Since you don't state the comm package you are using, I'm assuming it is the one delivered with the Datalink 2400 modem. This telecom program is just a modified version of the Talk-is-Cheap program by Don Elton. (Don lisenced it to Applied Engineering) What you need to do is set the working pathname. The default working pathname is the one from which the comm program was started out of. To set a new default, press [OA]-[N]. You'll get a prompt box stating the current default, and a line to type in a new one. All the commands for the comm program are listed shown if you press [OA]-[?]. -- Matthew Lee Stier | Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27709-3447 | "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: { sun, mcnc!rti }!sunpix!matthew | phone: (919) 469-8300 fax: (919) 460-8355 |
