Actually, Yes....if you have the patience to look in XXX many boxes.
This happens in BINKLEY but in no other program so all I want it to do is,
listen to a buzy for a couple of seconds then redial instead of listening,
waiting for the buzy tone to expire and then hang up in that silence with "NO
CARRIER".

It wuz not the flow control.  In windows 95 it sets up a buffer.  I had mine
set on full and it wuz sending more then the client could handle.  I just
lowered the buffer and it seems to work fine now.   But this buffer is VERY
powerfull!.  I went from a normal 3000Cps at 28800Bps to a 3900Cps at

The problem is that the modem apparantly returns to command mode when a
caller presses ESC ESC to get to the BBS.  If I load Renegade by itself,
it does the same at connect. I have S2=43 (default).  Does anyone have a
recommended init string for this?  Sure would help!  I have tried both
in Win and in DOS 6.22.  I have no problems with my Zoom 14.4. <G>.

assistant: I have a Courier so I can't help you specifically.
Mine has a dipswitch to set whether the +-+-+ sequence makes the modem
drop carrier OR stay online and enter command mode which let's users get
stats on connection and performance.
If your modem does not have a switch or register to control this, try
setting S2 to 0 or something else like 127 (so you can still use it) and
("I think") you need to set S12=0.

assistant: Hello Dave,
Looks like your HP came with an OEM USRobotics WinModem (probably
internal) included with your other hardware & software.  Write down the
information on both modems entries (as above) and toss the second Com 8
entry.  It's going no where and pointing to nothing.  Try your modem, if
it works, you're ok.  If it doesn't put the stuff back like it was.
Or.....call HP.

It goes into command mode during/after the bbs script inits or when an

It should not able to go into command mode without receiving the escape
