thanks for your feedback. sorry this post is long but I wanted to give all the relevant info. I entered the commands you showed but no joy yet. I must be doing something wrong, I don't know what the command is to invoke a dial-out. The card is working in a strange way though - if I dial my phone number from an outside phone the modem card kicks in and gives the tone thing down the line, kind of like a fax machine so there is life there. Below I've pasted the results for sh ip int br sh modem sh run
one thing that puzzled me was the command: modem Out. My config won't accept that. It would only accept modem InOut but I don't want dial-in.
router#config t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. router(config)#line 2 router(config-line)#modem Out ^ % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
router(config-line)#
my config also won't accept 'dialer in-band'
router(config)#int dialer2 router(config-if)#dialer in-band %Remove dialer profile config first (?) router(config-if)#
in the configs below please ignore the ATM0/0 - that's an adsl card. The wic-1am-v2 modem shows up as Async2 thanks for any further pointers.
