If there were a way to create a low-level virtual COM port in Windoze
3.1 such that you could run your modem software on one COM port, fax
software on the other, then you might be able to approach your goal.

I'll take a genuine interest in purchasing your arbitration software
if you come up with something.

Otherwise, I would appreciate a recommendation on a solution to the
same problem.

I understand that the "Faxability" software supplied with Intel's
model 400 can be set up to work as you describe - answer a fax or
data call appropriately, and ring a phone when a voice call is received.

I have also read that software supplied with ZyXel's U-1496 can do 
something similar, and can also use the modem to answer voice calls
with recorded voice, and digitize incoming voice for recording.  Don't
know whether this works in conjunction with deciding to answer data
or fax calls, though.

but if a human called it, it would recognize that there was no fax

Not just software, but...

I'm using something similar to what you want, if a little backwards from
what you specified.  Our voice-mail system will drop into fax mode when
it detects the incoming beeps of a fax.  Otherwise it answers with our
outgoing voice messages and stores incoming messages on the HD.  If we
touch-tone a specific code when it picks up, it will drop into data mode
and allow us to connect to our LAN.

Of course, we don't have DOS, OS/2 or Windows.  The modem is a Dove/FAX,
with FaxSTF fax software and Dove's voice mail system.  It's currently
in a Macintosh IIci running Apple's System 7.0.

In addition to Dove, Supra is now advertising (and may be shipping)
voice capability on their systems.  Xeba modems also have a "voice
recognition" feature, though I suspect that it's merely a time-out on
listening for fax tones since it usually notifies you that a call is
voice just after the calling party has gotten disgusted and hung up. ;)

Prior to the Dove modem, we were using Watson and a voice-mail ISA card
on a 286.

I apologize for the lack of contact information, but I'm at work and
don't have the numbers.  If you have problems digging them out of AT&T
toll-free directory assistance or whatever, e-mail me and I'll try to
recover the info from my LIFO filing system in the loft.

A few days ago I posted a message promising a followup on/after New Years.
This is it...

                    (remaining text deleted)

Early the next business day I received a call from Telebit tech support.  We
discussed the problem and they sent several sets of 7.01 roms, which they
felt would cure the problem.  The roms arrived the next morning, have been
installed, and seem to have resolved the problem.  During my conversation
with the person from Telebit we discussed how my communications with them
had apparently "fallen through the cracks", and although I do not find the
situation particularly acceptable, I at least understand how it happened and
will at the moment assume that this was an abnormal occurance.

Telebit tech support suggests that anyone who might be experiencing the
modem hanging problems should give them a call.  They promise to "do the
right thing" to resolve the difficulties.

I was using a Telebit T2500 on SCO ODT 1.1.x and it was working
fine with the /usr/lib/uucp/dialTBIT dialer.
Now that I have upgraded to ODT2.x the same dialer doesn't work,
and the /usr/lib/uucp/atdialT25 dialer dosen't want to work either.

I ran into this problem before and someone at telebit gave me a fix 
for the dialer file (although it required a cludge because I had to
compile it under ODT1.x)

sound familiar anyone?

Hi...

	The following question is probably easy, except that
I'm not very strong modem-wise.  I'm getting better, but this
is one I can't figure out.

	I've just installed Linux on my system, and it doesn't
use 'normal' [uu]getty stuff :(  It use configuration files...
which I think was/is used in Coherent?

	I can get my system to dial out using the Worldblazer,
as there is no [uu]getty involved, but if I want users/feeds to
be able to dial in, I have to get this working.

	The flow of the config files aren't hard to follow.  It
basically INITializes the modem, WAITFOR a RING, and then sends
a CONNECT initialize string (I think).

	The INIT strings look like (or how I have it set):

INIT="" \r+++\dAT\r OK\r\n-\r+++\dAT\r-OK\r\n ATS0=0M0&C1&D2\r OK\r\n

CONNECT="" ATA\r \T15CONNECT\s\A-ATA\r-\T15CONNECT\s\A

	So, my understanding is that it sends the INIT string, waits for a
RING signal, sends out the CONNECT string and you can login from there. 
Great theory...bad in practice :(  It is answering the phone, and it is
connecting at 2400 baud, like I expect, but after that, nothing...no login
prompt.

	I realize that this may/is a little vague...but I'm hoping that
someone with a Worldblazer out there is working with Linux and has an 
idea of what to do....or someone can see a flow in my INIT strings :)

thanks...
