I don't know the answer, but wonder if you managed to connect. I use Compuserve as an ISP and have done so in Holland and France, but I don't have to mess around with ATT cards, etc. If you did manage please let us all know what it took.

I used my Thinmodem in Ireland and ended up using the "Use calling card" entry. If memory serves me right, the numbers (and pauses) in this field are entered after the numbers and pauses in the "Phone #" field. I simply figured out what numbers I had to dial to get a connection, entered as many as possible in the first field (Phone #) and then entered the rest in the second field (Use calling card).

YMMV
