Configure Modem to answer call
using HAYES Commands

ALL external and internal PCI voice modems since they were first
developed have been manufactured to comply to the Hayes standard.
When you turn on your modem or reset it, your modem loads the
‘active configuration profile’ into non-volatile memory (NVRAM). The
active configuration profile is a group of configuration settings,
derived from the values of the modem’s internal S registers, that
define how the modem will operate. The active configuration profile
can be either the factory default, or one of two user defined
profiles. The first time your modem is turned on, the factory
default profile is loaded into the ‘active profile' in non-volatile
memory (NVRAM). The factory default profile is stored in the modem’s
read-only memory (ROM) and cannot be changed. The factory default
profile contains standard settings which allow the majority of users
to use their modem without ever knowing about the Hayes standard.
Modems are not factory configured to answer incoming calls by
default, so you will have to manually create your own user profile,
enable auto answer on first ring, save it to one of the user
profiles in NVRAM, and tell the modem to use it as the default
profile on power up and reset.

Use the 'tip' command to send Hayes commands to permanently
configure the modem to answer incoming calls.

Note: The Hayes modem commands are capital letters and the '0' is a
zero.


On the command line enter

tip comX   # where X is the com port your modem is on.
AT&F0      # load the factory default profile0 into current profile.
ATS0=1     # tell current profile to answer on first ring.
AT&W0      # write current profile to saved user profile0.
AT&Y0      # tell modem to load user profile0 as default on power
up.


Use the keyboard ~ key followed by the . key to exit tip.


The above is from the FreeBSD install guide at www.a1poweruser.com

Now I know nothing about vgetty so this is a shot in the dark, But I
would think
changing your init-string handed to the modem via mgetty.config:
from this

ATS0=0Q0&D3&C1

to this

ATS0=1   should do the trick if you have configured vgetty
correctly.

Or just follow the above instructions and update the modems internal
config and
remove the init string statement from vgetty and be done with it.

Good luck.

Thanks fbsd,

It seems that the init string command gives to this modem (which has
a
Conexant chipset, according to Creative's website) is incorrect.

This init-string handed to the modem via mgetty.config: (again, this
is
for vgetty)

ATS0=0Q0&D3&C1

I'm not familiar with Hayes compatible commands and hoping someone
has
some tips for me out there.

Thanks again,
Robert
