Stan,
Maybe the attached VI will help. This VI library contains utilities to talk via the serial port to a modem. Sending standard Hayes-compatible AT commands to the modem allow it to dial a number, send data, hang up, etc.
If you have the Internet Toolkit, it assumes you already have a valid TCP/IP connection. However, many web browsers such as Netscape and Internet Explorer have auto-dialing options that will start dial-up networking automatically when you launch your browser. The only trouble is that the auto-dial wizards can require the user to push buttons, but there is a Shareware program called DUNCE which will take care of the button pushes for you in the auto-dial wizards so the user does not have to intervene in the dial-up process.
You can la
unch the browser from LV and then have the browser configured for auto-dial and that should take care of the problem. I did not actually try this out myself, but in theory, it should work.
