Seeing as how it waits for ~10seconds before screaming, it would serve

the non-speaking bastard right. *Most* people don't wait this long to

speak.

 BG> V.8 CI tones and fax CNG tones are at different frequencies,



Know that.



 BG> and no halfway decent modem should mistake one for the other. If



The modem can distinguish between the tones. As it is set up to answer fax

through the "special" plug, it does have trouble tho'. This is designed

for home/small business use that would probably only need the fax/voice

capabilities anyway. Works a treat at that.



 BG> V.8 CI sets off fax answer, the modem is a heap of shit.



Seems everything that you don't personally use is a heap of shit, Bill.

KTX modems are *not that* good. Maybe you should try things before you

condemn them.
