Internet Connection - Win 98 Server Ihug.co.nz
My telephone connections with my modem every incoming call and squeals. The noise can be turned off by bringing up an Internet connection box and ticking cancel. How do I stop this happening please?
ASKER
Every time there is an incoming call, my modem picks it up.
Network Configuration:-
Client for Microsoft Windows
Dial-Up Adapter
NE 2000 Compatible
NetBEUI -> Dial-up Adapter
NetBEUI -> 2000 Compatible
TCP/IP -> Dial-Up Adapter
TCP/IP -> 2000 Compatible
Primary Log-in
Client for Microsoft Networks
The above has not been changed - in the past there was no modem interference on the telephone line. I think something has been ticked about Automatic Connection. After I get the Ihug connection window and tick connect. a Log onto Microsoft Network comes up - this is new - I tick Cancel and am connected.
Thankyou Bruno for your reply.

Start up HyperTerminal by clicking on (Start | Programs | Accessories |
Hyperterminal | Hypertrm.exe. Create a test session and choose the Direct to
COM# option where # is your appropriate COM port. Select any baud rate, but
let's say 57600 for this example - doesn't really matter.
Enter the command ATS0? This will query the result of the S0 register and return
a three digit number. (NOTE: If you don't see what you are typing on the screen,
hit ENTER then type ATE1 to turn on the local echo function)
If it shows 000 then you're done and you're modem shouldn't be answering unless
you're running a program that wants it to answer the phone, but if it's non-zero
(normally 001) then that's the number of rings your modem will answer after.
Now enter the command ATZ. This will reset the modem and let us tell if the
setting was temporary or not. Re-issue the previous ATS0? command and see if the
value has changed.
If the value changed from non-zero to zero, then the odds are that some program
you ran since last rebooting your machine reprogrammed your modem and you have
to figure out which program it is and fix the initialization string for your
modem. Or,
If the value didn't change and is still non-zero, then your modem got
reprogrammed at some point in the past and you have to fix it in the modem. To
do this enter the command ATS0=0 &W which will reset the setting to 0 (don't
answer) and then save the setting into the modem's memory which will persist
across a reset or power cycle.

Please let me know what happens! What happened with me is the AOL software I was using was reprogramming my modem. After I did all of this, there was a string I had to add to the AOL config settings which fixed the problem. But please let me know what happens here.

PS - i understand the annoyance this can cause!

Dear Bruno,
Thankyou for the time you have spent helping me. I followed your instructions:- Into Hyperterminal etc to typing ATSO? at the command – nothing actually happened and when I tried to press Enter – I got a message that my modem was not detected. I restarted, the instruction was still in HyperTerminal and my modem still not detected. I deleted ATSO? Restarted with the same “No Modem detected” message. The ATSO? was back. Then I went through every program with a modem setting, into Advanced and deleted ATSO?, restarted. The modem was detected, I got a friend to return my telephone call and NO SQUEAL. What a relief!
I am most grateful Bruno,
Maxine.
