While listening to Damian Harden Pete heard:Modem Project

G'day Damian

 DH> Thankyou for your reply. I do admit that I have a lot to learn

This is strange as the modem should be in online state after it has
connected, What happens if you issue AT&V do you get the modem config
sent from the modem back to you.

 DH> My modem is a Netcomm Roadster 288 and the command ATO0 (Enter
 DH> on-line state), which I issue after a connection, causes the
 DH> modem to hang up and the connection is lost. When and how should
 DH> I issue the ATO command so as to instruct my modem to listen to
 DH> the other end and NOT ME.

You shouldn't have to issue ATO unless your ending your dial string
with a ';' which tells the modem to return to command state after
dialing ie 'ATD635-6734;'

 DH> Thanks for all your help and I will keep to the topic (I'm
 DH> fairly new to all this BBS stuff, so bear with me!) from now on.
 DH> I have no more problems regarding the programming side of things
 DH> - just getting the modem to do what I want it to is the tricky
 DH> bit!

don't know if i can help much more here but the best of luck with it.
