Remote Desktop using the remote serial ports

[trolley]

I have client who has a PC in the main office with a modem that needs to dial to a BBS to download/upload files. They moved the billing office to another building and connect using Remote Desktop. However, the modem does not respond. You can dial out manually using Procomm Plus, but not using batch and Procomm Plus scripts.

Any help will be very much appreciated.

check the Procomm scripts. we used to have it scheduled to do downloads at certain times automatically. i am sure it should be able to do what you want.

For some reason the ProComm Plus script was not dialing the phone number. Although, I was able to use ProComm to dial out manually. I ended up putting in a dialog box just before the actual dialing and that seem to work. Why! I do not know.

Thank you...
