259603 2004-08-08 11:42:00 Just had to uninstall and reinstall Win XP due to hacker or virus. Now unable to use Hyperterminal for ringing local and overseas phone calls. I click programmes. Click accessories. Click communacations. click Hyperterminal. Add name and number. Click dial. Then I get "connecting for 2 seconds, and then disconnecting. Nothing more.
Any ideas?

259604 2004-08-08 11:54:00 Try using Phone Dialer to dial your cell phone and see if you get the same results. I assume your are conecting to the net using an ordinary modem and it is working. mikebartnz (21)
259605 2004-08-08 12:12:00 Hi Mikebart................. Where do I find Phone Dailer. I am using Win XP home. Yes my modem is working OK on the Internet and outlook Express and used to work ok on Hyperterminal. Jaunty (4009)
259606 2004-08-08 12:20:00 It may not be installed. I'm using W2k and mine is under accessories/communication mikebartnz (21)

This seems a bit misguided, however...

Why would one do this? Seems remarkably redundant. Would it not be faster to punch the numbers into the phone surely?

Is it using the right serial port?
