I verified the solution by unplugging the fax machine on the same line as the computer, and then dialed the shared number. &nbsp;Ringing was heard, but no answer.<br />

Actually the modem does answer it, but the software has to tell the modem to answer it. &nbsp;The software sets this by changing the value of register S1 to a non-zero value.<br />

The default value of S1 is zero which means don't answer.
