- I a trying to program a PC-Fax board to dial using my calling card.
- The problem I encounter is that the LD carrier uses voice/bong prompts
- that aren't "recoginzed" by the fax modem. I use Hayes ",,,'s" to
- delay the srting, but the response of the LD is so variable that often
- the Fax/modem is too early or late.
-
- We have the same complaint from our travelling types. They say that
- trying to use the laptops to connect to corp computer resources while
- on the road is difficult. We haven't had much success with pre-
- programming the laptop modems either.
-
- Do the LDs offer some sort of "data" or modem-compatable connection
- service? Would it be possible to have the carriers issue a "short"
- burst of dialtone between entries, so one could program a FAX/modem
- with a "w" command?
-
- Has anyone else figured out a way around the lack of dialtone?
-
- Thanks in advance.
