Erv, Access! does indeed close the serial device. It does not however turn off your modem <grin>. If you set your modem for "auto-answer", then quitting the term program will not reset it to _not_ auto-answer. For most Hayes compatable modems, an "ATS0=1" would set the modem to auto-answer; "ATS0=0" will disable it. There is a "modem Setup String" in Access! (in the DEFINE window) that is sent out to intitialize the modem when the term boots. There should also be an "Exit string" but isn't and will be in the next version. In short, it's not the serial.device answering the phone, it's the modem settings that do that. — Keith —
