The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows 95

-

SYMPTOMS
After you select the Record A Log File check box in your modem's properties, the log file (MODEMLOG.TXT) shows the phone number you dialed as "ATDT#######."

CAUSE
The phone number is shown this way to add security for credit card numbers used for long-distance dialing.

WORKAROUND
NOTE: You should use this workaround for troubleshooting purposes only.

You can work around this behavior by typing E1 in the Extra Settings box in your modem's properties. Adding "E1" causes the phone number you dialed to be shown in the MODEMLOG.TXT file.

The following steps demonstrate how to select the Record A Log File check box and add the "E1" setting:


 * 1) Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click the Modems icon.
 * 3) Click the Properties button.
 * 4) Click the Connection tab.
 * 5) Click the Advanced button.
 * 6) Click the Record A Log File check box to select it.
 * 7) In the Extra Settings box, type E1.
 * 8) Click OK until you return to the Modems Properties dialog box.
 * 9) Click the Close button.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
