JP>   Can anyone help me on this?
        With your phone book displayed and the relevant phone number
hi-lighted, hit the REVISE button, and the "Revise entry" dialog box
will be displayed.  Look to the right lower side of the Phone Number box
and you will see RETRIES with a 0 and an up and down arrow beside.  Set
this count to the maximum number of retires which you desire, say 5 or
10. If there is no answer after that many tries, dialing will STOP with
an on screen message. With retries set at Zero, Qmodem will dial
forever...
        Hope this helps.
