Hi George,

[Thus spake George Ashton unto All:]

 GA> I am running Win95. I have recently installed the ?latest Netcomm
 GA> drivers for Win95/M34F. I now have a problem (which didn't exist

.INF files *aren't* drivers. Most (if not all modems) use the standard
Win 95 comms stuff e.g. comm.drv, unimodem.vxd. The modem's .INF file
tells Win 95 what the AT commands are for that particular modem e.g.
what's autoanswer etc.

 GA> before) of my modem being left in the autoanswer mode after using any
 GA> comms prog. (well Win95 specific). My modem's default is autoanswer
 GA> off. Even trying to switch AA off from within a comms prog. does not
 GA> work and I either have to switch the modem off and on again or send a
 GA> command via DOS. Is their a bug in the new drivers??

Probably not a bug in the Win 95 comms drivers but something stuffed up
in the Registry.

You can check the Registry to see whether Win 95 has got the proper AT
commands registered for your modem. Fire up regedit.exe.

Go to My
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\0000

(If you have more than one modem, the correct key could be 0001, 0002 etc)

To check whether your autoanswer settings are correct, check the Reset
field in the 0000 key, and check the appropriate fields in the various
subkeys under 0000.

Needless to say, be careful when you're making changes to the Registry.
