NOTICE - Biggest problem is the modem set up with OmegaComm
/ABBS/LABBS

WITH  AUTO BAUD  MAKE SURE THAT DATA TERMINAL READY IS OFF AND CARRIER
DETECT  OVERIDE IS  OFF.  Often  the  default is both on all the time.
There  are switches  on the US Robotics  modem.  Modems that are Hayes
compatible  and have  no switches  usually  use  &D2  and  &C
1  in the
initialization  string.  External  modems sometimes need to be treated
differently than  internal  modems.  If you have tried every  possible
combination and it still won't auto answer, the problem may be in your
ROM BIOS.  Some pc clones are more IBM compatible than others.  If you
are  running  OmegaComm BBS (uses fossil) and using X00.SYS, make sure
that  you  have  0=COM1  or  1=COM2,  FILES=30
, and BUFFERS=30 in your
Config.Sys file.

You may use the tilde / ~ / within  a  modem  string to indicate a
 1/2
second  delay.  You  may  also  use '{' or '^M' for a ca
rriage return.
OmegaComm automatically sends a  carriage return at the end of a modem
string so the extra one may not be necessary. On most Hayes compatible
modems the string ~~+++~~ will put the modem in command mode.
