   Yep.  I keep this one in my Daytimer because it comes up so frequently.

   Send the following commands to your Hayes compatible modem:

	   E0
	   Q1
	   C1
	   D3

   That ought to do it.  I won't explain it, there is much black magic in why
   all this is necessary.

Either I don't understand the answer or you didn't understand the question.
You say to "send" those to the modem.  That's the problem: sending ANYTHING
to the modem.  I know how to get it into autoanswer mode, once I can send
things to it.

I have found that I can use cu to do the job, but I'd rather be able to put
something in a crontab file.  (cu doesn't seem to like to have things
redirected into it.)
