Getting Your Modem to Answer the Phone
If you are using a communications package like Telix, Procomm,
etc., you can communicate with your modem from the blank terminal
screen. When this system hangs up, you should see NO CARRIER written
on your screen. DO NOTHING! Wait for your phone to ring. The word
RING will appear on your screen. Wait for your phone to ring at least
twice. Then type the UPPERCASE letters ATA and press enter once and only ONCE.
Your modem will now answer the phone.
If your communications package does not permit direct contact
with the modem, or if you see numbers on the screen rather than words,
check the documentation for your software for the procedure to set
your modem to auto-answer mode.
Do NOT use Host Mode!!
If your modem is not Hayes compatible but does autodial and
autoanswer, check your modem's manual for instructions on making your
modem answer the phone. Your modem may have a manual switch to select
between originate and answer, and might also offer a connect button.
If all else fails, leave a comment for the Sysop.
