The modem will be hayes compatable but I have to be able to handle various almost-hayes compatable modems. When answering the phone, I wait for "CONNECT" or "CONNECT 1200" but when should I expect the CD to come on? (where in the "CONNECT" message... beginning, end, etc) Is it different for various modems? Any other tips for generic answer-the-phone routines?
