I think that the DesTerm 2.00 Docs say something about some modems not supporting those features. I often use Bob'sTerm with my C24 and the modem does not provide BUSY or VOICE messages with this program either. Further, the manual _does_ state that in the modem's default setting, gained by ATX4, it should display codes for BUSY and DIALTONE. If anyone knows what's up, I'd appreciate hearing from them.

I have found that typing ATX4 is no guarantee that the modem will detect BUSY signals, and I have never seen the VOICE message come across. However, there are many occassions where the modem does indeed detect a busy signal, and it seems to depend more on phone systems than anything else. If the busy signal sounds loud and clear, the modem usually detects it, but a soft or muted busy tone might be missed. So perhaps your modem works just fine, but the signals are too weak to be detected. -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/! INET: an207@cleveland.freenet.edu / ..
