- I have tried several modems with my Procomm Plus 2.11 (PCP) and the same
- symptom appears. When in data mode the modem hangs up if it runs into a
- busy signal (after approximately two "busy beeps", if that's what they are
- called), but in fax mode the modem stays "off-hook" until it times out.
-
- With WinFax Lite the modems all will hang up after a couple of "beeps".
- I have tried the latest modem in another computer with two other comm
- programs and in all instances the busy signal was detected and acted upon.
- The modems are a Telepath II 14.4 data/fax, a GVC 14.4 voice/data/fax and a
- GVC 28.8/33.6 data/fax.
-
- This leads me to think that there is something in my ProcommPlus 2.11 that
- is not progamming the modems to respond to the busy signal when sending a
- fax. I cannot find anything in the manuals referring to an AT command
- or setting for "hang up if busy after "n" beeps or seconds" or something
- like this.
-
- Is there an AT command for this or a fix in PCP?
