     By default AA (AutoAnswer) is OFF (ATS0=0). To turn AA on, ATS0=1.  To
set and SAVE,  ATS0=1&W.  If it has 'stuck' in AA then ATS0=0&W will  reset
to  not answer, and save it. For a PC usually AT&C1&D2 should also be  set.
For a MAC,  &C0 or &C1 seems OK, but for AA it must be &D0 (not &D2).

     Some  software sends ATA to the modem to tell it to answer,  when  the
modem sends 'RING' to the software. If the software does this, then  ATS0=0
is correct.

     When  the AA LED is off (autoanswer off), it should blink ON for  each
ring,  then  type  ATA  and  the modem will answer.  When  the  LED  is  ON
(autoanswer ON), it should blink OFF for each ring, then it will answer  on
the set number of rings.

                          FAX AutoAnswer

     Do NOT put any data software in Host mode or the software or modem  in
AA  (autoanswer) mode. The FAX software tells the modem to answer when  the
modem  sends  RING to the computer. You only have to have  the  fax  module
loaded to receive the fax.  The AA led should be OFF, and blink ON when the
phone rings.

     If  you  have it set and it doesn't answer, then try  going  into  any
terminal  mode  (data  software) and see if the modem prints  RING  to  the
screen  when the phone rings. If not, there may be too many devices on  the
line, or a conflict preventing the message from getting to the 'screen'.

     Fax driver (see software manual) must be loaded to recv a fax. You can
tell most software to manually answer the fax when you hear the 'beeps'  on
the phone via a hot-key.
