Doug, I'm using a Maxum 2400. It's supposedly 100% Hayes compatible, from what I've seen it is. Like I said before, TAG-BBS registers the fact that the line is ringing but doesn't send the 'ATA' command (at least I don't think so). To test my modem I wrote the following OnLine! script: When "RING" jump ANSWER rwind Label ANSWER Reply "ATA|" When Sure enough when the line rings the modem answers. This proves (I think)that my modem works…right? TAG-BBS seems to try to answer but then hangs up immeadiately (not due to the S7 register which is set for 30 sec. wait time) and then registers a 'False Alarm' in the status window and resets…could it be that TAG-BBS is sending a character after the 'ATA' command thus causing the modem to hang up? I think I'll try changing the S3 register (carriage return code) to another value to test this therory…<Sometimes an idea comes when you take the time to write it down!> Any other suggestions anyone?
