| 128912 | 2003-03-17 20:46:00 | My puter answers when ever a call comes in and overrides the phone. I have deleted all telephone type apps including ICQ etc. Have also tried shutting down all rumnning progs. How can i trace the culprit? |

| 128915 | 2003-03-17 23:38:00 | Does your modem or computer have two phone sockets, one called line and the other called phone ? If so swap the plug to the other and try that. |

| 128916 | 2003-03-18 00:46:00 | The problem will be due to "auto answer" being enabled somewhere in the Modem setup, not an application. Look at the modem properties, sorry I can't be more specific but I don't use dial-up to research exactly where it is. |

| 128917 | 2003-03-18 01:57:00 | Try this................ Check the table below to find the S-Register that controls answering. The registers are listed in numerical order. Note that you want to use S0. Enter your communications software. Enter Terminal mode. Enter ATS0=0 S0 - Number of rings before the modem auto-answers a call. If set to 0, auto-answer is disabled and manual answer is in effect or try this link as well www.modemsite.com |

| 128918 | 2003-03-18 04:30:00 | Having turned off the auto-answer, you also need to save the configuration, so it will stay off. Otherwise, the next time it powers up, it will be back to the old state. | Graham L (2) | ||
