I have a 28.8 fax model.
According to the AT+MS? command I have the silent answer and the Silent
Answer Plus features built in.
My quest is to get these features working. I have tried quite a few
combinations. I am using Fax Talk software version 1.50b For Windows.
Can you suggest an init string for the answer modem set up to enable the
silent answer? I tried AT+FAE=4 as the init string for the modem in Fax
Talk but it will not answer unless I chose auto answer after (x) number of
rings which defeats the whole purpose of the modem being able to discriminate
which kind of call is coming in. B.T.W. there is no answering machine on the
line it is for voice or fax/modem only. Thanks for any help you may be able
to provide. Brian.

How about when the SUPRA calls the USR modem? I believe that's where the
problem is.

I've gotten fairly good results from both my 33.6k modems (a SupraFAXModem
and a USR V.everything).  I regularly get 28.8k-33.6k connects locally and
24.0k-28.8k connects cross country.  And even 24.0k is a LOT better than
14.4, unless you don't consider an additional 1000+ cps as 'much' ?!?
