A while back I got a Supramodem 2400zi and have been quite satisfied for the most part. However, every once in a while I get a series of junk characters on the screen that I'm convinced are caused by someone trying to call me. I use the *70, at the beginning of my phone string, and this seems to prevent folks actually getting through to me, but I also get this crud that can at times actually lock up my session. Also, if I DON'T want to use *70 for one reason or another, I get a RING string on the screen, but it doesn't properly disconnect and let the call come through. All this worked fine with the modem I had on my IBM before I went on my voyage into Amyland. I've checked through the docs, paying particular interest to the DTR setting, but haven't had that grand breakthrough just yet! (Hoping someone out there has played this game already, and can tell me who wins, and what was the game plan.) Also, I can't remember what the Hayes command is to get a listing of the current settings. (And yes, I've perused TFM.) Thanks in advance for any (particularly the helpful) ideas, Scott barber@jazz.concert.net
