BL>>I have a 28.8 fax model.
BL>>According to the AT+MS? command I have the silent answer and the

BL>>My quest is to get these features working. I have tried quite a few

BL>>Can you suggest an init string for the answer modem set up to enable

BL>>there is no answering machine on the line it is for voice or

I did that too and I get the display that I do indeed have Silent answer.
 PM>         WHICH 288 fax model do you have?
On the front it sais: Supra Fax Modem 288. The serial number is 50088
The box has: Flash Rom, Silent Answer, Caller I.D., MNP 2-5, 10

 PM>         should work
 But, doesn't. I'll try to find a provider for PC-TECH newsmail. But the
 place I call for this mail bundle probably doesn't have it.
