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.

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

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)
