How would this work. My dialup number is displayed in the ATDT line
every time {I use Winsock at home} and the RAS Dialer in NT at work.
Also the number is displayed for confirmation before dialing because I
have to put my password into the system.
If you mean that once I connect it changes the number and redials, that
would be interesting because there would be no way for it to hide the
interruption of the system dialing a 14 digit number, not to mention the
buzz that both of these dialers can be programmed to make upon carrier
drop.
More info please, if you have it.
