M3 Normally turns the speaker off during handshaking and dialing. Try it with M1 and L3 (ATM1L3) M1 = Speaker controll. (Normal hayes) L3 = Volume controll. (Normal hayes) Yes, You are right, This method does work better if you have a phone line with dialtone attached. :) But not needed! I just tried it on 7 different brands of modems, All of them returned OK from AT with ATE0 set. So for these seven brands/models. AT should prove success or failure. Yea, I agree, Try several different tests.. :) Can't hurt. 99.999% of my experiance is Dos based. So I have no idea what -clocal does. You can bet I'm looking though.. :) -Enjoy Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Improve America's Knowledge... Share yours The Borg... Where minds meet (207) 929-3848
