RE: News/400 Paging Program

Well, I have all my line and controller descriptions right, so it must
be in the setup of the modem.  I've tried every combination of switch
settings I could think of (the manual isn't much help).  I just cannot
get the modem to autodial.

Is anyone out there using a 7852-400 modem in connection with the
New/400 paging program?
