You really can't with ProTERM 1.2 since you cannot manually toggle on and
offline status (OA-CTL-T) with the older versions.

If you were using the current version you could toggle your system into online
mode and issue a ATA command to have your modem answer the call.

I strongly suggest you spend a few bucks and upgrade your software.

As an aside, let me go on record as opposing bbs systems that use a call back
feature to verify existense of a user.  On the surface it's a good idea but if
you happen to have three phone lines like I do and don't use your voice number
with your modem.

Cheers!
