RE: Async Communications

Sorry, I didn't clarify enough. I was told that most asynchronous modems do not
support the V25bis autodial, so I needed to dial by using a WRITE of a constant
or variable containing the dial string to the modem (ATDT9,18003450000) followed
by a carriage return (X'OD').
The program doesn't appear to be doing the dial. I did an ICFTRC to get a
printed tracing, and it showed the dial string being written but the program
just sits there.

Why would you be manually dialing? What's wrong with ATDT? Before you go
too far down this road are you sure Citibank will do a straight ASCII
transfer? In my dealings with Citibank they've always wanted XModem CRC
(I think they accept Kermit too). If you're looking for a ProComm type
package that does all this you may want to look into our ZMOD package -
you'll be up and transmitting in minutes.
