 HOST MODE THINKS IT'S ALWAYS ON LINE

 Problem:

 When the Host Mode script is run Telix always thinks that a
 caller is online and immediately asks for the caller's name;
 or Telix always says that a Hang-up operation failed even when
 it did in fact successfully hang-up the modem.

 Solution:

 Your modem is almost certainly overriding the true state of
 the Carrier Detect signal. This is the factory default on most
 modems, but should be disabled. For proper operation, Telix
 needs to see this signal on when connected to another com-
 puter, and off when not. If your modem has dip switches, and
 they are in the same configuration as on a Hayes 1200 or a USR
 Courier modem, switch number 6 must be in the up position. If
 your modem does not seem to have any dip switches (look care-
 fully, sometimes the front needs to be popped off), it is
 probably controlled solely by software commands. One example
 of this is the Hayes 2400. For this modem, and others which
 follow the same commands, you should add '&C1' in your modem
 init string as defined in the Configuration Menu.
