I have a POTS line that is shared between a regular phone and a modem. If the modem attempts to dial out when the phone's off the hook, there's an audible click as the modem checks the line, sees it's in use, and hangs up.
How should I do this without the audible click? Is there an obscure (or just obscure to me) Hayes command to test the line without bringing the modem off the hook? Or do I want to try (yet another) different modem? The modem's being used to send text messages, to dial a Rogers TAP via linux's sendpage, to get around the annoying way Rogers/Fido (doesn't) handle sending txts from email. The system would be fine if I didn't have the click; as there are very few times the phone's in use, and it's a low frequency of wanting to send out txts. -Daniel --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
