IF you dont have the GSPort driver, then you have an OLD copy of GBBS Pro. The Modem should be "Hayes Compatible", the serial port firmware on the GS does control the port speed and you should have buffering enabled to run over 2400. The GSPort driver (like many of the GBBS serial interfaces) uses Simple codes for the modem. Code Value Description OK 0 Modem successfully executed a command line. CONNECT 1 Connection made at 300 bps. RING 2 Modem detected an incoming call. NO CARRIER 3 Modem lost or could not detect a remote carrier signal within the Register S7 time. ERROR 4 Modem found an error in the command line. CONNECT 5 Modem established a connection 1200 at 1200bps. NO DIALTONE 6 Modem did not detect a dial tone within 5 seconds after going off-hook. BUSY 7 Modem detected a busy signal. NO ANSWER 8 Five seconds of silence was not detected when using the @ command in the dial command line. CONNECT 0600 9 Modem established a connection at 600 bps. CONNECT 2400 10 Modem established a connection at 2400 bps. I pulled these from my BocaModem Manual, the first 10 codes are pretty much the same for all Hayes style modems, after 10 its up to the modem. You should run FIXED (pretty much no problem as the GSPort drive does not AUTO BPS) and the General Purpose IN line does WORK! so use it to drop the connections. BTW you will have to send a RING code twice, as the normal ring detect code requires 2 rings within 15 seconds or it ignores the call, the ring detect code sends the ATA code to put the modem off hook and start the answering of the call.
