	Stephen,

	I don't know the command to turn your modem's auto-answer off, but,
	once you find it you can issue the command from autoexec.bat.  Just
	use the dos echo command.  If the command you want to issue is
	"ATS0=0" and you're using COM2, you could place the following
	command in your autoexec.bat:  "echo ATS0=0 > COM2."

	Hope this helps.
