Btw: It will still understand pulse dialing. I can set the USR to "adaptive

otherwise. Works great with the ZyXEL Elite 2864I a/b-adapter!
So this is not really a problem for me anymore.

Perhaps the subscriber doesn't have a choice?
Some exchanges say "The line is either busy or out of order", if the phone is
off-hook for more than 90 seconds, eg. when tossing mail. It is a little
difficult to make the phone company understand it is violating fidonet
policy...
It would be nice if the modem would recognize voice, record it for later
replay, and then report VOICE, and the mailer then would blacklist that
number. Then I could play the recording "The number you are calling 911 has
been changed. Please dial 999", instead of just seeing 52 NO CARRIER's in my
log.

especially when the used serial card isn't according to the specs. This may
cause the trouble that the E2864 doesn't see the DTR transition.

the old and new one, it also looks like it.

That is not the problem... the problem is with BELL installing a computerized

It's their advertisement for their call answering service sort of thing. It
is not a piece of hardware a user installs, but one BELL automatically puts
through their computer system.
It's also not necessarily with other FIDO NODES I'm concerned with but just
simple file transfers to non-bbs folks waiting for something to come their

As I said in previous posts, my ZyXEL still has problems picking up a busy
