Fw: US Robotics Modem Help - Resolved!!!



Well, I finally found the problem that was presenting me from sending faxes.
My problem was that my modem would dial and the remote modem would respond
but my modem would not start the handshaking.  Receives worked fine.

In the config file there is a default entry ATDT%s@.  The @ causes the
connection to be "quite".  However, with a US Robotic modem (at least mine)
there are 4 levels of X messages (X1, X2, X3, or X4).  For X3 and X4 the @
prevents any verbal codes from being relayed back from the modem.  I was
using X4.

By removing the @ the sends are now working fine.  I suppose I could have
accomplished the same thing by changing to X1 or X2 but I haven't tried it.

BTW, the correct command is ATDT.  I also made the other correct suggested
in the attached note.
