Mark,

Check the DIALINIT parameter on the controller description. It should be
set to *IMMED. This will cause the modem to dial immediately when the
controller state changes to varied on. It will not cause the modem to
dial however if the controller is already varied on. It's triggered by
the state transition, so if you vary the line on and the controller is
already varied on, I don't believe it will dial. Not sure though. Also,
make sure the dial starts with the dial command. I also had a similar
problem once with a UDS modem that required the DUPLEX parameter on the
line description to be set to *FULL. The UDS replaced an old 5853 that
didn't care.
