How to use ProComm to get past a SEB

You can try following the steps in this Symantec knowledge base article, but I've never gotten it to work. I'm not sure if the problem is in 32-bit Windows, newer versions of Procomm, or my modem, but I do know someone else who says they got it to work, so maybe it was a modem issue in my case.

i have a script at work that does the dial into seb without fail, it's fairly simple.
mostly just set txtpace 20 (command?)
wait quite 4,
transmit "xxxxxxx^"
pause 3
trnasmit "7^M 1^M"
from their i call the logi script for the switch.. like i say i'll post the exact copy, i think slowing the text was the step that i was missing

Thanks for the input but, I think you are probably logging
into a Nortel product or something similar. I have seen this type of usage for that before and it does work.

I have to get past the SEB steps, then...keep the line connected while I launch the proprietary NEC software which runs seperately from the Procomm.
If I get out of the Procomm...it drops the line.
If I just launch the NEC software with Procomm minimized, the NEC software can't communicate because it sees the line as already being in use.

I think the steps that "knob" posted sounded pretty good. Unfortunately I am using Windows 2000 which is the ONE system that the steps say this will not work for.......lucky ME!

Did you try the steps I posted anyway? Some of the warnings and caveats in the Symantec knowledge base articles I've seen are incorrect in my opinion.

Hi There,

What version of Nec Mat program and version of Nec Pabx you are tring to connect to

Knob - I have not been able to try it yet as I am out of town in training. I will give it a try the first part of April when I return.

mitelsx2000 - I have a couple of old DOS versions of the MAT program for NEC 2400's and I have an older DOS version for the NEC IVS 2000.
The one 2400 software version is used for a couple of old IMS machines that we still maintain. The other 2400 software is used on an ICS machine. I cannot tell you for sure what the versions are at this time.

I have MATWorx Studio and 32 but, have had no luck using it when an SEB is involved. I am currently forced to carry an old Compaq laptop that's running Windows 95 and a DOS version of Procomm Plus.

I am hoping to find a way to put the Compaq aside and use my newer Dell laptop running Windows 2000 and Procomm Plus for Windows.

Hi there,

I have Mat 1.04 operating on my compaq laptop, operating XP sp2 without a problem.

Mat for the Nec sds and ICS 110/120 had all ways had the function to dial and connect to remote pabx`s via modem. This was never advertised.

Select the com port your modem is on.
Go into MOC mode and use standard hayes commamds to dial out, ie ATDT4954444 ETC.

A trick I discovered with my laptop Com 1 direct serial port, internal modem on com 3.
Nec Mat only can access com 1 & 2.

If you go into the control panel, select modem, advanced and advanced settings, I changed the com port setting from com 3 to com 2 and save setting

You can access the internal modem for the Nec Mat program to dial to remote sites.

The rest of my programs function OK for the modem, (I use Procom 4.8, Matworks 32, Nec Mat for the IMX/IPX and standard Microsoft programs for email/internet.

i see what your running into, i had the same problem with simmons mmi software, i opened a dos window and lanched the software in the local mode, worked but liked to hang, of course mmi loved to hang anyway. haven't played with nec in years, i did go through the 2 weeks basic back during the mmg-2400 days. i do know our tech support (bell south) had seb's on the 1200's we used to support, but i never needed to remote in to those. and your right, that script is for a nortel product. if knob can't find the path, then it hasn't been done...
