Peter,

*** Quoting Peter Knapper from a message to Sean Dennis ***

PK> Do you have a suitable EVENT covering the phone answering period?

The only event I have is this one:

[%Task%==1]
Event "Loop"     All             00:00 00:00           B

I only use BT for node 1 (my dialup).

I'm using Telegard/2, so it picks up the handle too.  Here's the problem: when 
my friend was calling, he didn't see anything-not BT/2 sending out an EMSI 
string, no banner string (which I have set up).  When he pressed ESC, I 
actually saw it in BT's modem window as two backarrows.  I wonder if there's 
something wrong in the negotiation somewhere?  I forced BT to pick up, the two 
modems negotiated and they just sat there.

However, he was using Hyperterminal (yeech).  He did switch to GT Term to try 
it out also and the same problem occured.

I'm just using this for the init strings now:

PreInit |v``^``ATZ|~
Init |ATS0=0|~
Prefix ATDT
Answer ATA|

The weird thing is that I've never had this problem before, but then again, I 
was using my old BT setup.  This is a new one and I haven't had a dialup line 
in years...

Later,
Sean
