Won't it answer the phone of it rings just after a power cycle to the modem? ------- When the modem powers-up it is in "verbose" mode--what I meant by "talky". In particular, when it receives a ring signal from the phone line, it sends the ASCII sequence "RING" to the host. The modem can be made "quiet" by a command from the host. Now the application I had in mind was to use it as an unattended auto-answer device with a Micom 600 port-selector, which expects the first (speed-sense) character to be sent from the remote ter- minal. And the worry is that after a power interruption the modem cannot automatically be restored to "quiet" mode. I am sure that in most applications, the "verbose" mode on power-up would make no difference at all. T. W. Hildebrandt Academic Computer Center UNC-Greensboro Greensboro, NC 27412 919-379-5350
