If you google for 'Hayes Modem command set', you'll find some useful
things. Back in the days of BBS's, most of us knew almost all of these
by heart, to tweek the best out of our modems. (Anyone remember BBS's?
:)
AT attention (preface all your commands with this)
ATA answer incoming call
should get you going. You can also set the connection speed, other
things, too, but most of it should auto-negotiate just fine- I"m not
sure how fast the Newton could keep up with anyway.
HTH.
