Hi.  I just got a Hayes 2400 baud modem for my Mac, but as usual it's 
driving me crazy.  I'm using Kermit (hey, it's free) but when I imput 
"atdt xxx-xxxx" to make it dial I run into a glitch.  It gets a dial 
tone and then I hear the touch tone beeps as it dials.  Then nothing 
happens.  I think it could be because I don't have touch tone service 
and that's why the tones don't get any results.  If this is true how do 
I make my modem simulate a rotary phone? 

Any help is greatly appreciated since the microcomputer consultant 
down here didn't have the foggest idea what I was talking about and 
couldn't be made to understand.  (some consultant).
