Can anyone get the modem answer button to show up?

According to the documentation, sending in "" or no parameter into the Set Net Connection command should trigger the Modem Connect Answer interface.

Any non-null input triggers the modem dialer.

In case you are wondering what the results should be....

The top box is the expected reaction by the OS to the Set Net Connection command.

The second box is the OS reaction to the selection of the 'Answer' button.

Hi,

It will show up when you create the net game, that way there will be a game for the caller to join when it answers.

Well I see there is another person who can figure out these things! Thanks for your response.

swdave that was good work. I had old code that worked (that's how I got the screen dumps) and new code that didn't. It took me 11 sleepless hours to figure that out. I didn't think that anyone else would determine the correct answer and this topic would drift to the bottom.

Have you ever tested this functionality? I hope that it works. I have code ready to test (I am in Atlanta) and can't find anyone to test it with.

swdave you are on my personal "real smart person" list, send me your email address and you will be rewarded.

Thanks!

"Have you ever tested this functionality?"

I have tested so many modems its not funny.

I would recommend the you dial in to your ISP first and then select the TCP/IP connection. Let Windows handle the connection and tweak your code to handle 56k dialup users

What you are describing is using the
Set Net Connection WEB, IP$

I am attempting to do phone dialup 56K modem to dialup 56K modem direct dialed.
