HELP! Microlink is driving me nuts!

I can't seem to get Microlink to work properly and I haven't been able to figure
it out (I'm obviously missing something simple).

I want to be able to dial into work.  The sequence I would type in in "dumb
terminal" mode would be...

  ATDTxxxxxxxWyyyyy#Wzzzz#

where

  xxxxxxx  is the phone number I want to dial
  yyyyy    is a code number that you dial in when you get a short dial tone
  zzzz     is a second "service" number to dial in again when you get another
             dial tone.

After this, you would get a standard paragraph (blah, blah, blah) and finally
a service prompt, say,

  tty1234a>

at which you would type in the unix nodename to connect to, say, "mynode"

then you get the standard UNIX login prompt.

My problem is that I have be unable to get any portion of this to work either
from a script or from a "dumb terminal" mode.  When I use the "disconnected"
mode, I can type the "ATDT" string but as soon as I get the service prompt
(tty1234a>), Microlink drops the carrier!

Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong or have a script that
may enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?  I do have the modem selected
(correctly) as a Microcom 32bis.

Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, if someone has a 800# or an email address for the Microlink vendor, could
you please let me know via email?

Thanks,
  Norm.
