Andre,

A DDM file is just a local description that points to a file on a remote
system. There's nothing mysterious about CRTDDMF. DDM itself will run
over a connection that supports passthrough, so you can use it to debug
the connection. All you need to do is vary the line description on. If
it's a dial-up connection, the modem should dial as soon as there is
traffic for the connection, so it should just be a matter of varying on
the line and opening the file. I've not done this precise thing though,
so I may be a little off the mark, but this should be pretty close.
