- The following assumes that you have the current USR INF file for
- Win95 (available on the USR BBS and FTP server), and that the modem
- is installed correctly.
-
- If you can't get your modem to auto-answer under Delrina WinFax 7.0
- (for Windows 95), even though auto-answer is checked under Setup |
- Receive, particularly if you have updated and/or redetected your
- modem, try the following:
-
- 1. Open Setup | Modem.
-
- a) Be sure the modem is listed as the "Active modem." If it is not,
- select the modem and click the "Set as Active" key.
-
- b) Select the modem and click "Properties." Make sure "TAPI" is
- selected as the "Communictions port." Click OK.
-
- c) Click OK to close the Modems dialog box.
-
- 2. Open Setup | Receive.
-
- a) Be sure "Automatically answer incoming calls" is checked. Set the
- number of rings to "2" (at least until you get it working).
-
- b) Click OK to close the Receive Properties dialog box. IMPORTANT:
- BE *SURE* TO CLICK OK -- do not press <esc> or click cancel EVEN IF YOU
- MADE NO CHANGES.
-
- Watch to see if the message "Fax/modem enabled" appears at the left
- end of the Status Bar, and if a small modem icon appears in the first
- pane of the Status Bar.
-
- NOTE: YOU HAVE TO REPEAT THESE STEPS EVERY TIME YOU CHANGE YOUR MODEM,
- EVEN THOUGH WINFAX STILL SHOWS A CHECK BY AUTO-ANSWER!
