- The telepath II won't save S0=0 in NVRAM. It seems to default to
- S0=1, making it answer on the first ring. Here is what is usually done
- to correct this problem: The easiest way to disable auto-answer is to
- set S0 to 255 (it would then answer on the 255th ring). In terminal
- mode, type in ATS0=255 and hit enter. When you get OK on the screen,
- type in AT&W and hit enter. Si B.
