I guess you did the same mistake I did. Setting the ModemJumper to "ANSWER- MODE" and running a BBS is "doppelt gemoppelt" :-) which means, there's one ANSWER Mode too much. If you set your Modem in Answer State it will pick up upon a call and answer like a "dumb machine" (at least the Discovery did so). You have to leave your modem in it's default (origin) mode. The BBS Software takes the rest. I know, cause I saw MCM and I'm using ANET (therefore heh) - both are ModemWorks based BBSs and they watch the Modem Reg for rings them- selves (I guess &FN1,cr or &FN5,cr...) so just put your modem in "ORIGIN" state... hope this helps ********************************************************************** * CHRISTIAN "KRS" KARPP I !pleH" * * FHT MANNHEIM, FRG I "!07/11 PDP a ni deppart m'I" * * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * * INET: I409@DMAFHT1 I VNET: + 49 621 569665, 18-20H LT * * ANET: Apple CIDER II, #100 (SysOp) * * + 49 621 582173, 3/12/2400, 8N1, Wkds 18-23H, Wknd 11-02H LT * * =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= * * pi-problems?
