- Here's how I do it: (works with most modems)
-
- 1. Set a profile in your modem (let's say, profile #1) that
- contains all of the commands you need to access your provider. Save
- it using "at&w1". Some common ones are:
-
- ATS0=0; Turns off auto-answer (your problem, Dianne)
-
- AT&C1&D2; enables carrier det. and DTR detect;
-
- ATS7=60; gives 60 seconds to connect.
-
- ATS11=100; 1/10 of a second DTMF speed.
-
- ATT: Selects tone dialing; use ATP for pulse.
-
- 2. Select this profile as your power on default: at&y1
-
- 3. Program the init string in your terminal emulation program
- (procomm, pcanywhere, etc.) to issue ONLY the ATZ1 command. Most
- terminal emulators have their own, and between the TE and Winsock you
- might be inadvertently flip-flopping back and forth.
-
- 4. Set S25 = 30, then do #1 above. (Sorry, forgot this) This
- masks what appears to be the tendancy for some clients (I had it with
- FreeAgent) to toggle DTR momentarily when coming up, thus causing
- sporadic, unexplainable hangups.
-
- 5. In your winsock script, the first lines should be:
-
- Set DTR off
- sleep 3
- Set DTR On
-
- These will reset the modem and select profile 1, which
- presumably you have first gotten to work with your ISP.
-
- Then (to make sure everything is O.K.), issue the ATZ1 command to
- the modem and loop on OK. If this works, you are on your way.
