I keep this one in my Daytimer because it comes up so frequently. Send the following commands to your Hayes compatible modem: E0 Q1 C1 D3 That ought to do it. I won't explain it, there is much black magic in why all this is necessary. Either I don't understand the answer or you didn't understand the question. You say to "send" those to the modem. That's the problem: sending ANYTHING to the modem. I know how to get it into autoanswer mode, once I can send things to it. I have found that I can use cu to do the job, but I'd rather be able to put something in a crontab file. (cu doesn't seem to like to have things redirected into it.) -- Phil Windley | windley@cheetah.cs.uidaho.edu Department of Computer Science | windley@ted.cs.uidaho.edu University of Idaho | Moscow, ID 83843 | Phone: (208) 885-6501
