Successfully with auto-answer? I have not used their standalone modems, but I used one of their all-in-one modem/router/hubs and had exactly the same problem. It worked fine for dialout, but was incredibly flakey doing dialin. Like the answer you got, they did not consider this to be a problem even though the manual claimed you could hang a FAX machine off of the analog port on the back. I guess for sending faxes only. I would never buy Diva anything again. -- Joseph F. Noonan Rigaku/MSC Inc. jfn@msc.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
