Well, your modem is in control, not MSComm.  You configure the number of
rings on which to answer by using the ATS0 command.  For example,

MSComm1.Output = "ATS0=6" & vbCr
(wait for the OK response before proceeding)

You may be interested in my book.  See below for information.  It has lots
of advice and working code that you should find to be of value.
