It -is- driving me crazy :). It's the last line on the rotary but still
gets enough of a workout.. the rotary is Fidonet/BBS and ISP, usually
flatout (mostly ISP) during peak hours.

The state distributor says "use the Netcomm helpline", which
equates to NO local dealer technical support :(. Worst I've seen from Modem
suppliers.

I've since sorted this out using the Rockwell command set documentation. :)
I have a working prototype of an OS/2 Answering Machine application that
uses the Netcomm VoiceMaster 288. I've arranged to obtain other voice
capable modem brands/models prior to releasing the program, once I get that
far.
