was my answering machine...
The first home computer I bought was a Packard Bell back in
early '95. It came with a voice modem and answering software.
It actually worked quite well, rarely failing to answer/record
a call, properly receive a fax, or hang the line up when
complete. It would even share the COM port without balking,
so my online dialing software worked fine, too. I was even
able to make the switch from WFW3.11 to Win95 after installing
a patch. Later, I added a faster modem for data and left the
old one for voice/fax, assigned them different COM ports and
all was well.
Then, in 2000, I bought a new computer and things were never
the same. I used trial versions of several diffferent
packages, and swapped modems a few times, but could never make
things work as reliably as before, if at all. I soon gave up
and bought an answering machine.
Thanks, Tony.
