George, Glad to hear that your modem is working data wise pretty well now. How is it doing sending faxes? As for &H1, I would keep it in the init string. Some comm programs change the modem's active profile and it they change it to &H2, then you could have some problems with handshaking. I say keep it in there for good measure. Well, you could test the cable lines to see if you have a hardware handshaking cable. Or you could ask the people you bought the cable from. They're are three general categories on modem cables. 1) Standard Hayes cable – your normal type 2) Hardware handshaking cable (7-wire or straight through) – has wiring to control the RTS/CTS lines need for hardware handshaking 3) Null modem cable – changes the transmit and receive positions on the cable between connectors. Okay for connecting two computers through serial ports, but not good for modems. // Christian – AP 1.80 \X/ Only Amiga Makes It Possible
