- Another possibility is to add remote voice mail service to your single
- phone line - callers who would otherwise get a busy signal end up getting
- the voice mail service (provided by your phone company). Depending on
- the modem usage and incoming call load, of course, YMMV.
-
- Which leads me to the next question - do any 28.8 modems recognize the
- staccato dial tone that indicates that one has voice mail waiting, or
- must one use a wetware solution - either pick up the phone & listen (!),
- or a dialing script:
-
- AT M1 H1 speaker on, go off-hook
-
- pause while human listens
-
- AT H0 hangup (this step is probably optional)
-
- AT DT*70,555 continue with normal dialing
-
- but then the wetware (human) has to handle the situation
- if voice mail is waiting.
