Is there a way of using a batch file or a small runtime procedure to ask a US Robotic modem to answer after 2 rings. I know how to do this in the normal way but I want to be able to wrap that up so that a client will be able to do this with the settings I need, this has to be in a format that they can just double click a file and its all done for them.

Thanx

There's no easy way to use DOS / batch file to send commands to modem.
You can store custom profile in the modem
(AT&W#)

As something to try I'd use ECHO with redirect. Assuming the modem starts in command mode:

ECHO ATS0=2; > COM2:

(I added a semicolon because I'm not sure if a carriage return is given at the end of this. If it isn't you could break the command into multiple ECHOs of single characters with intervening pauses if necessary.)

Good luck.
