Does anyone know if any of the modem manufacturers are starting to add support for identifying the 3 signals that most phone companies use before recordings etc. For things like line problems, out of service, changed number etc?

The BEST SmartOne modems detect these tones (called SIT or Special Information Tones) and treat any combination of them as the same as fast-busy. They apparently don't distinguish between the several defined sets of frequency and duration which have slightly different meanings in the telephone network. -- Dave Levenson Internet: dave@westmark.com Westmark, Inc.
