Gary, I need to know how long the modem takes to process this dial string, versus the time that ECS is waiting: Enter the command manually via COMIO (or any modem communications program) and time it. Then see how long ECS is waiting before issuing the error. -- Mark Gilmore Omnipotence (ECS home automation software) http://www.usit.com/omnip 423-745-0026 J Gary Mull wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > A couple weeks or so ago you said that you thought it was related to a > timeout function and noted you had made some changes.
