Re: Why does XP answer the phone when no RAS is enabled?

if the modem is configured to AutoAnswer, then the modem will pick up the
line on the configured number of rings. (normally found in the S0
register) Issuing ATS0=0 to the modem will disable AutoAnswer(you may do
that in Hyperterminal) If Windows XP modem init setting puts S0 to any
value other than 0, you will also enable modem AutoAnswer.

Thanks, I'll check into it.

You sure it is computer and not the modem.


Thanks for your response. I missed it the first time I posted. Sorry.

No, I'm not sure. I know that I have no applications defined, including
MS Fax, and nothing in network connections to look for incoming. The
only thing of note is that this computer has been used for internet
connection sharing. My understanding of this feature is that it doesn't
answer incoming PHONE calls, but will respond to packets sent to the
computer from other computers on the lan -- via the lan -- and will then
dial out.

I have a windows xp pro machine connected to a phone line that is used
for internet service via dialup. The problem, incoming calls get
automatically answered after the 2nd ring by the computer, even though
no inbound RAS configuration was established. There is no fax software
on the machine.

How do I get the machine to NOT autoanswer?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
