I forgot (and Wirt included) a few things. 1) Auto Answer - use the ATS0=1 command. This will make your modem answer after one ring. 2) Save the configs - After setting up your modem, you might want to save your configs just in case the power goes off :) To do this, enter AT&W Some modems have 1 or 2 config memories. You should save the configs to all of the memories. To do this enter AT&W AT&W0 AT&W1 If you get an error on the last one, then there is only one memory location. If I forgot anything else, please add. /alan [log in to unmask]
