Just wondering if anyone knows how to start my modem from the command line? I have a Powerbook G3 (Lombard).

Any ideas? - I've done searches on the internet and posted to this forum ages ago but nobody seems to know.

Cheers

I used to use an application called Kermit (I think it was) back in the System 6/7 days. It opened an effective shell to the modem so you could type 'atdt 02 6474 4722' (attention and dial tone <#>). I'm sure there must be a command-line tool that starts an interactive session like with telnet.
 
Kermit, exellent I installed that on my machine about three weeks ago and haven't done anything with it yet - will investigate

ta, will :)
