Hi, I didn't realise you were using ``pp='' - I was thinking about the FAQ section that says you should ``set openmode passive'', but that's not going to work against pp= :-( I would have thought you shouldn't really hear any line noise... not with error correction turned on. Maybe there's a problem with the modem setup - or maybe the modem needs to be ATZ'd in a ``set hangup'' script ? The only alternative approach I can think of is to use mgetty - maybe that deals with things better. > On Tue, 22-Jun-1999 at 19:35:37 +0100, Brian Somers wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > > > I want to connect to a 3.2-STABLE machine (called messfix) which > > > is attached to a mobile phone GSM 900 modem.
