Hi,

Anyway, do you mean how do I make a modem ignore a non standard dailtone?
For example if you have a phone forwarded, the modem won't recognise the
dialtone.

If that is the case, then most modems have a setting ( X0, or type ATX0
from a term. ) which tells the modem to ignore waiting for a dialtone.  Go
into control panel then modems.  Click the modem then click properties.  Go
to the connection tab and click the advanced button.  In the text box label
Extra Settings enter X0.

You may be able to specify this on some controls as well but I am not sure
which ones you are using.

Hi,

    How do I make a modem dial numbers to a phone line without having a
dial tone present?

                                    Please help

 If you want to have your modem dial with its speaker turned off you can add
"m0" (m-zero) to its
initialization string.  This works on my modem, you may have to look at your
modem docs to see which command you need for yours.  You can add a command
to your connection string in Control Panel's Modem applet.  In the modem
properties dialog click the properties button,  In the next dialog that
comes up choose the "Connection" tab, then click the "Advanced" button and
enter the command in the "Extra settings" text box.

You should issue one of the following AT command to the modem:
ATX0
..or
ATX3

ATX3 is better than ATX0 because, in some programs, let you know the
connection speed while ATX0 doesn't

If you want to setup a "Hot Phone" I suggest you buy a third party .ocx.
TAPI is close to impossible to write in C++ so I can't imagine even
attempting it in VB

Check the AT command set there is a command you can pass to the modem in
the setup string that will tell it to ignore dialtone (if present or not).
That should do you!
