Getting a modem to do anything from BASIC requires a serial interface with firmware that can be called from BASIC (Apple's SSC for instance which accepts PRINT CHR$($);"IN#2":PRINT CHR$(1);"T" to "enter terminal mode." Then the modem has to be given its command for "auto answer" (some modems auto answer as a default or can be set to with a micro switch). It's been awhile since I programmed that function myself, but I believe the HAYES SMARTMODEM command is ATA

Examples: ATS0=11 sets the modem to answer after the eleventh ring. ATS0=0 sets the modem to never answer. T.F.S.
