I am working on turning the responces off. the ports are configured for
dial-in only and I can not change the way they are configured. I have 4
modems in a hunt group and 2 of them act up with regulerity. Thanks for the
help.

Ps. Frank, Your right about the statements on Unix I've found that each box
althought technically identicle (same hardware, same os level, same
configuration) seems to have it's own personnallity.
