Now I've never dialed a modem by hand from linux, in dos I could do it
with just echo atdt 9,5555555 > com2    so if I do need to initialize
the modem first then would the string be echo at,atdt 9,5555555 >
/dev/ttyR5
Well that's not it (I just tried it), hrmmmm, I don't know at this
point, but you may be on to something with the initialization string
idea, thanks

Lets say theoretically that you have a modem server, and you wanted that
modem server to dial a number at a certain time of day.  Now lets say
that you wanted it to do this only five day's a week.  Now I see where
cron fits into this but what would be the best way to get the modem to
dial (doesn't have to start ppp, slip or send a fax).  I've tried
sending the modem a command directly:
Echo atdt 9,5555555,,,223 > /dev/ttyR5
That didn't work but then again it's Monday and my mind isn't
functioning properly (yes worse than normal).  Any thoughs???
