[arachne] RUNNING ARACHNE THROUGH MOTEL SWITCHBOARDS

Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Back in 2003, when Arachne was young and I was using A170R3, while on an 
extended trip to Wyoming, I tried to run Arachne on my Laptop through 
various motel switchboards without success using Compuserve as my ISP.  
Basically, in each case, Arachne would refuse to dial all the extended 
digits to complete the connection.  Odly enough, using exactly the same 
dial up string, phone number, and phones to dial up Compuserve to 
retrieve my email, I had no problem whatsoever with the motel 
switchboards.

I now have A190j1 configured on my Laptop, a dell latitude xpi p133.  I 
expect to be motelling it for a few days within the next month or so and 
hope to be able to use Arachne from my laptop through the motel 
switchboards to launch Arachne onto the Internet so I can keep track of 
some specific events while I am away.  This time I will be using the 
Vancouver Community Net as my ISP.

Does anyone know whether the motel switchboard dialing problem has been 
fixed in A190j1?  If not, does anyone know of a fix that can be 
implemented in A190j1 to enable Arachne to dial up successfully  through 
motel switchboards.

Any available information would be helpful
