He wants to use it to forward his calls to voice mail when his modem is active. Instead, Steve, if you are originating the modem calls, why not use call-forwarding to forward your calls to voice mail manually, before you dial the modem call? Perhaps your CO doesn't offer call-forwarding, either? ; Steve Elias, eli@pws.bull.com; 617 932 5598 (voicemail) ; 508 294 0101 (SCO Unix fax) ; 508 294 7556 (work phone)
