[bit.listserv.i-amiga] TAG-BBS

Help!

I have set up TAG-BBS on my system.  My problem is that I want to configure
my SupraModem 2400 to AutoAnswer after a specific number of rings.

In the config file Tag_System, There is a line called "OPEN:" in which
you insert a setup string for the modem.

The obvious thing to do is to insert "S0=#" where # is number of rings,
into this string.  It doesn't work.  I found that this is because a
line below this, called "ANSWER:" contains the modem command "ATA",
telling the modem to answer IMMEDIATELY.

How can I change this?  I have tried putting a "dummy" in the ANSWER:
field, such as 0, but the calling system never gets through.

On a different note, by default TAG-bbs appears to assume that your modem
has a maximum baud of 1200.  Putting the command "S23=31" (which sets
the modem to 2400 by default) in the OPEN: field does not change this.

Again, this is because the line immediately beneath OPEN: is "RESET:",
which by default contains "ATH".  I found that changing this to
"ATHS23=31" will override this, since a reset is asserted by tag-bbs
everytime it closes communication.  This does in fact set the modem
to 2400 by default, but I'm not sure if this is proper.

Are there any other tag-bbs users out there, who may help?

Thanks in advance....
