Hearing some talk about in-coming phone-calls crashs a computer,
come to think of it, I have a modem problem that has been bothering
me for about a year now. I am using an old Ven-Tel 2400 baud external
modem over COM2: with TELIX. The init string specifically says
ATZ~~~AT ...... S0=0 .....
^^^^
meaning no auto-answer, right? The modem, however, still auto-answers,
and that is very annoying because it picks up the phone before I have
a chance to run over. I keep my modem on whenever my computer is on,
and so there's this problem.
Anybody knows how I can disable auto-answer forever? This modem has no
dip switches on the back, and I don't have the manual anymore. Otherwise,
does anybody know how to send ATS0=0 to the modem without running
a communications program? I can then send the string to the modem in
my AUTOEXEC.BAT and see if it solves the problem.
Thanks a lot.

Just use the dos echo command. If the command you want to issue is "ATS0=0" and you're using COM2, you could place the following command in your autoexec.bat: "echo ATS0=0 > COM2."
