I am using an ultra smartmodem 9600 with a callback system. When the callback rings me back I need to gpick up the phone, key in an id code and then establish the call in originate mode. I cant get the smartmodem to do this. I tried various combinations, including the "r" modifier. Any clues, hints about what to do. My old modem had a physical answer/originate switch on the front panel... what is the equivalent ? --jay

Can I assume that by "key in an ID code", you mean you have to send DTMF tones (touch tones)? It sounds to me like you want to use the DIAL command, with dial tone detection disabled (X1). This way, you would go off-hook, send a series of DTMF tones, and then be prepared to connect in originate mode. Let's say that you're supposed to send the DTMF security code "1234", then be ready to connect. All you need to do is issue the command string: AT X1 DT 1234 where "X1" turns off dial tone detection. I know, it seems too simple. Perhaps there's another catch you haven't mentioned? -- Toby -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-840-9200 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.
