I am thinking of registering Telemate version 2.11 which is a very nice piece of software except (aside from the glitches in the vt-100 emulation, but that's another story...) for this one bug that's driving me fruity. I run a Gateway-2000 '286 machine with a Cardinal 2400 baud modem and, if I Telemate is in terminal mode but not connected, an incoming phone call will crash the computer which forces me to do a "red button" reboot. Or this can happen when I'm "attack dialing" a popular bbs and somebody tries to call me and manages to get through between dialing attempts. It's very frustrating... Anybody else have this problem? You can e-mail me or post to this newsgroup. And I'm too cheap to buy a dedicated data-line! :) Thanks in advance -kevin kgowen@cie.uoregon.edu

Have you set auto-answer off on your modem with ATS0=0 ?

Have you set auto-answer off on your modem with >ATS0=0 ? Yes. At least, I think I have. Here is my modem init string: AT S7=35 S0=0 S11=45 S2=0 M0 V1 X4 Is there something that could be putting another value into the S0 register without my knowing it? -kevin kgowen@cie.uoregon.edu
