The only other thing you need to do is tell your modem to auto-answer. (The rest of your setup looks juts fine.) If your modem has a configuration switch for auto-answer mode, set it. Most modern modems do their configuration via software. Yours is probably one of these. It's probably Hayes-Command-Set--compatible, and has a nonvolatile memory in which to save its configuration. Try connecting to the modem, then enter these commands: ATS0=1 AT&W The first means ``answer the phone on the first ring.'' The second, ``save the configuration.'' Whenver the modem is powered-up or reset, it should auto-answer on the first ring. Good luck. -- Sean Kelly NOAA Forecast Systems Laboratory kelly@fsl.noaa.gov Boulder Colorado USA http://www-sdd.fsl.noaa.gov/~kelly/
