Hello Marvin:

Sorry you didn't get this a few days ago, I sent this same response to the wrong person a few days back

Here's one way,

SET LIBRARY TO foxtools.fll

OPENCOMM = REGFN("OpenComm", "CII", "I")
WRITECOMM = REGFN("WriteComm", "ICI", "I")
CLOSECOMM = REGFN("CloseComm", "I", "I")
ATCommand = "ATDT" + NUMTODIAL + CHR(13)

COM1 = CALLFN(OPENCOMM, "COM1:", 100, 100)

=CALLFN(WRITECOMM, COM1, ATCommand, LEN(S))

=MSGBOX("Dialing "+NUMTODIAL+" Press OK when connected","DIALER",0)

ATCommand = "ATH0" + CHR(13)

=CALLFN(WRITECOMM, COM1, ATCommand, LEN(S))

=CALLFN(CLOSECOMM, COM1)
