Go to Control Panel =>System=>Device Manager
Find your modem driver and then double click on it.
Then click on the "Connection" tab and then click on the
ADVANCED
button in the middle of the window. In Extra Settings window add
this:
S0=0 (this is
Szero=zero)
This is an 'S' register and it tells your modem to answer the phone
on
whatever ring is listed, in this case it is set to zero or does not
answer.
There are other 'S' registers that can be added here. The S
register
S11 sets the speed the modem dials. You can set this to
S11=55
and dramatically speed up the dial process... there are more
that
can be found in your modem manual or online from your modem
manufacturer.
S registers are added in the extra setting box inline as follows:
S0=0S11=55
Hope that helps.
