How would you about setting up a Apple IIe running proterm 1.2 to answer the phone when you are on automatic autovalidation that some IBM systems use? I have left the computer in unattended mode,that does not work, are there any other methods that might work?

You really can't with ProTERM 1.2 since you cannot manually toggle on and offline status (OA-CTL-T) with the older versions. If you were using the current version you could toggle your system into online mode and issue a ATA command to have your modem answer the call. I strongly suggest you spend a few bucks and upgrade your software. As an aside, let me go on record as opposing bbs systems that use a call back feature to verify existense of a user. On the surface it's a good idea but if you happen to have three phone lines like I do and don't use your voice number with your modem. Cheers! paul@pro-europa.cts.com .. crash!pro-europa!paul

In response to chines@pro-europa.cts.com:
Sure there is a way, from the main Proterm menu, just type OA-ctrl-T to
get into "online" mode. When the phone rings, type ATA <CR> to signal your
modem to answer the ringing phone! That's all!
