I do not have dsl in my area yet. I have a message service via the phone company. When there is a message I get a studdered ring which blocks the modem. How do I put in a delay to prevent this and allow use of the modem? -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Is your modem on auto-answer? It should be insensitive to ringing if it is NOT. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

And I think some modems could read those messages. Caller ID is sent that way, for instance, between the first and second ring, if I'm not mistaken. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I think he's referring to a "studdered" dial tone, which the modem doesn't recognize. The fix is to configure the modem to dial without waiting for the dial tone, however a pause will be required before dialing. I don't recall the details, as it's been years since I last configured a modem.

Normally a comma (",") in the dialing string introduces a pause of 1/2 second. The option to dial without waiting for a tone is, *i think*, application-specific. AFAIK there isn't an AT modem command which explicitely does this. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W. Watts

Yes and no. There is a setting, done with AT commands, that modifies the ATD command in that respect. I don't remember how, I would have to re-study it. Ah! Here: X - Call Progress Options The X command enables tone detection options used in the dialing process. As these functions are enabled and disabled, the modem's result code reporting is also affected. For this reason, this command is frequently used to control the modem's range of responses; however, its primary function is that of controlling the modem's call response capabilities. Some call progress options are not available in certain countries due to PTT regulations. Refer to the user documentation supplied with your modem for applicable X commands and result codes. Result code definitions are provided in the next section. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ X0 Busy and dial tone detection are disabled. Only result codes 0-4 are enabled. Only the CONNECT result code is permitted, but with no indication of the telephone line speed. This setting overrides any other result code selections made with the W command and S95. X1 Busy and dial tone detection are disabled. Result codes 0-5 are enabled and line speed reporting with CONNECT XXXX messages. W command options and S95 are enabled. X2 Busy detection is disabled. Dial tone detection is enabled. Result codes 0-6 are enabled and line speed reporting with CONNECT XXXX messages. W command options and S95 are enabled. X3 Busy detection is enabled. Dial tone detection is disabled. Result codes 0-5 and 7 are enabled and line speed reporting with CONNECT XXXX messages. W command options and S95 are enabled. X4 Busy and dial tone detection are enabled. Result codes 0-7 are enabled and line speed reporting with CONNECT XXXX messages. W command options and S95 enabled. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It would be ATX3, then. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It's been many years since i had a similar problem, but the solution was phone-line-provider-specific. In the U.S. (where i lived at the time) one could disable incoming calls by dialing a code sequence... i THINK it was *70. The main use of it was to disable "call waiting" (called "klopfen" or "knocking" hier in Germany), because the beep generated by an incoming 2nd call would often disconnect a modem. i suggest contacting the telecom provider and asking them if they have a code you can give in to disable incoming notifications. If so, you must simply add that code to your dialup sequence. Normally that would look like: *70,<ISP number> The comma normaly adds a 1/2 second pause to the dialup process, which may be necessary when using such a code. -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.
