Titolo: ATi3 SoftK56V_B2.1_V3.05.18 Can't turn Auto Answer Off - HELP!

Hi All,
Hope that somebody can please help. My modem answers the phone after
one ring. Now I know what you are thinking - set ATS0=0. I tried this
and it made no difference.
When the modem answers, it does'nt handshake or anything, it just
answers and holds the line open indefinitly! This is very annoying.
The only way to fix the damn thing seems to be to unplug the line or
turn the PC off.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Try using HyperTerminal direct to the modem's COM port, then
send AT&F to the modem. It should respond with OK. Then have
someone call you. If the modem responds with RING for each time
the phone rings, then your modem is good. If it answers, send
AT&F S0=0  and try again. If it still answers, there is likely
a defect in the modem. Do you have any FAX software running on
your computer, or possibly some answering machine program if it
is a Voice modem. Any errors when you run the Modem Diagnostics?
Good luck.
