- I think the poster dosen't mean to actually use the modem, just want to
- get the "Ring" message from modem. What the software should be is a TSR
- that catch the "Ring" message from modem and show something on the screen.
-
- There is a FTPable program do this, but just bell the computer speaker.
- it is in 141.210.10.117 under pub/msdos/phone ?? and named as phonring.zip
- Hope this is correctly remembered.
