The Rolm dataphone is a bit squirrely to work with - make sure the DTR from the Amiga goes high for a second or two before data and it can work similar to a modem. You will probably have to hack together some scripts with AmiTCP/PPP to make it work, since the Rolm will be "calling" a modem pool somewhere on your network. Also, the Rolm where I work is limited to 19.2kbps, but this may be our own limitation. Fred -- AWF .sig
