Here I am with my latest GPFax problem. OK, I updated to 2.3 (or whatever the latest version is). I got from the Supra BBS information on how to run both my answering machine and GPFax together so that if it's not a voice call and it is a fax call, GPFax calls in. Since my cheap answering machine auptomatically went into toll saver mode (i.e., if any messages, it went from 4 to 2 rings) and it didn't automatically disconnect from the line if an extension was picked up, I bought a new answering machine (hey, got to help the economy!). Well, I can't get GPFax to accept the settings that Supra says have to be in place for Silent Answer to work. The problem, in fact, is Silent Answer. I'll load GPFax, with the modem connected. GPFax recognizes that the modem is on line. Yet when I go into the options menu, and select Ailent Answer, I am queried about the existence of the modem. Is there an easy answer to this one????? PAW

Joe: You must have the ROMS for the Supra modem that support that feature. To get it, you have to replace a chip. If you did not do that, call Supra to purchase the upgrade. -Jonathan

Joe– Thank you! The instructions that I got from the SUpra BBS didn't include that bit of information. I did scan the manual that came (manuals, I should say) with the modem and software, but I usually don't spend much time with manuals–so maybe I missed it. PAW
