First see if the Nokia allows setting up the modem to auto answer the call. In Hayes lingo one would send ATs0=2 where 2 is the number of rings after which the modem auto answers, 0 meaning don't answer automatically. If this doesn't work, see if the modem tells you when a call comes in, usually with the message RING (you can tell this by using tip or cu to get an interactive session to the modem and then dial the number of the Nokia from another line). If the Nokia shows the RING message you can still have your auto-answer by using the mgetty+sendfax port. > -- > MfG/Best regards, Kurt Jaeger 17 years to go ! > LF.net GmbH fon +49 711 90074-23 pi@LF.net > Ruppmannstr. 27 fax +49 711 90074-33 > D-70565 Stuttgart mob +49 171 3101372 Good luck!
