pcAnywhere External Modem

This issue has been solved. See solution.
I've got an external analog modem (com1). How can I setup a pcAnywhere remote to dial a host? The dialing properties are greyed out when com1 is selected. I see no way to open a terminal to dial the number manually.
Any ideas how to use the external analog modem with pcAnywhere remote connection?
Thanks, Dan

If you find this is a solution, please mark it as such.
On the settings page for the remote you can enter the dialing info if the page is grayed out then the OS doesn't know that the device on com 1 is a modem. Can you test dial from the terminal built into windows. If not then you need to finish the modem install and come back to pcA.
In my experiance if COM 1 is available this would be for direct serial connection using a serial cable. When using a modem in pcA you need to choose the modem. unless it is windows 95 or 3.1 we are talking about he modem should be listed as a modem in the control panel. once this is here you can use it in pcA.

Thanks. I needed to add the modem as a device in windows (although external modem) in order for PCA to "see" it and allow the phone number to be entered. Once it's listed as a modem in the Control Panel, the modem can be selected in PCA.
Thanks again!
