Modem doesn't answer the phone

2005-09-29 Thread Efren Bravo
Hi,

I need your help about incoming connections through the modem.

My modem is a External CNet C56k v.92 Data/Fax Modem and it is unable to
answer the phone. I made a test with an old Motorola V.3292 modem and it
works well. The CNet modem works fine on Win2k Advanced Server.

Where could be the problem, on fBSD box or on the modem?
What can I do?

Thanks

You probably have to tell the modem to auto-answer incoming calls. The 
command is ATA, according to 
http://www.modemhelp.net/basicatcommand.shtml. I'd put this in a modem 
initialization script somewhere, but I haven't used a modem since 3.1 so 
I'm not sure exactly where that would go.


HTH.

Actually, ata will tell the modem to pick up the phone and answer now.

ats0=1 will tell the modem to auto answer when the phone rings.

atw will typically tell the modem to write the current settings to 
nvram so that they are available the next time it's turned on.
