(It happens to be AT&D3 - &D is all the I guess I didn't make the point of my query clear. I *know* how to set up a modem to re-initialize to the RAM settings so when the DTR goes down it's all set to go. But I have a USRobotics DS ($1,000) and two made-in-Japan Omrons ($300 each) that don't allow enough parameters to be stored in the RAM; they *must* be reinitialzed every call to get them to send the tones from highest speed to lowest. If I can't re-init them for dialin (initializing for dialout is no problem) with UNIX it means I have to get modems that do. Technically trivial but an economic burden. From the replies that I've gotten (here and in mail) I take it that you can't re-init a modem for dialin under ISC UNIX. I thought so, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't overlooked something before I shell out for new modems. Unless somebody has something new to add, I think that answers the question: for UNIX, you have to use a modem who initialization for dial-in can be stored wholly in the modem (via RAM or DIP switches).
