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.
Thanks,
