-=> Quoting Marcel Dinger to All <=-
Hi Marcel,


 MD> I recently purchased a new USR Sportster 33.6 Internal Fax/modem, and
 MD> am having trouble connecting to _some_ BBSs.

Is yours a US/Canada version? (You can find out by doing an ATI7 command).

 MD> of the time, is the modem incorrectly interprets the ring sound for a
 MD> busy signal. At least that's what it looks like to me. I hear the
 MD> phone ringing through the modem's speaker, but my Comms package

Try changing the result code from the default which is probably X4, to X2,
and see if that fixes the problem. It did for me.
Hope this helps..............Warwick.
