I have had a ProModem for about a year, and have noticed that some of the
things that are mentioned in the manual are not true. For instance, if the
line is busy the manual says that the modem should detect the busy signal,
hang up and try again. This does not happen. Also if you have the options
processor installed you have the ability to create logon macros, which I have
not been able to get to work as of yet. Another problem with the options
processor, is with its ability to send and receive messages at preset times,
this does not work either. When attempting to receive , it will answer the
phone , detect carrier and then hang up. Other than these problems, I have
been satisfied with the operation of the modem. If anyone has had the same
problems, and knows of a solution please send me mail. Also if you have any
other problems, send mail. If there are many responses I will summarize to the
net.
Thank you,
Dave Szczepanski

As the manual mentions, this requires that the switch on the bottom be set to enable this activity and that it will retry every 30 seconds. I have found both of these statements to be true. I have a modem program (MEX) that will do redial so I disable this "feature" --Chuck -- - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {qantel,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-}
