How to save Hayes AT Modem command settings?

[CrazyHelloDeli]

Having trouble convincing my Modem at home to pick up the phone when I dial in from work. The only way I can get it to pick up, is if I open Hyperterminal and type "ATS0=1". Now if I leave Hyperterminal open, my modem will answer the phone but my Client at work will say "Did not respond to network request". If I close Hyperterminal, then my Modem wont pick up at all. How do I save S-Register settings I specify through HT?

Server at Home is 2K with a DUN Incomming Connection(Not RRAS, Although ive tried with same result...)
Work Computer is Win98(dont ask, just let it go....)

As far as I know, you need to have some sort of "server" running on the computer that you're dialling into, like a BBS software or PCAnywhere. You can't just dial in and suddenly be connected. What kind of client software are you using? Running Hyperterminal on the server will allow you to dial in, but then Hyperterminal doesn't know what to do once you're connected (it's not meant to be running as a server). I believe there is software available that lets you do things like read the directory structure of the server on a command line after dialling in, or something like PCAnywhere would let you have full control over the server. There is no way to make the modem itself simply answer calls and provide the client access to the machine. (Wake-on-ring just brings the computer back from sleep mode, but you still need software running.)

I may be wrong, Win2k may have something built in, but you probably at least need to be running terminal server in order for it to accept calls.

I think you need to add that "ATS0=1" (or whatever else you need, don't know this exact command) modem extra initialization string field. I don't have modem installed right now, but from what I remember you could find it if you'll dig into either modem's or DUN properties in Windows based machines. Similar is for Linux machines KPPP dialer....

This works for sure if you dial out, but I don't think why it shouldn't when you dial in. Of course I may be wrong in your case, just an idea.

Yeah, I know that there has to be some sort of "Server" type software waiting on my machine, and trust me ive tried many. In 2K Pro and 2K Server you can use DUN to make an "Incomming Connection" so that the machine will answer. The problem im having is simply that my modem wont even pick up, unless I leave Hyperterminal open(Im not trying to use HT as my RAS). I get the same result if I set up Routing and Remote Access Service also...Modem will simply refuse to pickup.

The modem is working properly because I can dial up to an ISP and The Diagnostics tab in DM shows no errors and responds to a Queary. Its a DSI(Creative Subsidiary)56K V.90 Modem, with latest drivers and its on the MS HCL.

Its not like ive never done this before, ive done it for Friend and clients all the time Via PcAnywhere of Routing and Remote Access, so I know what im doing.

Yeah, I was thinking that...I just dont know the Registry entry for that in 2K(I do in 9X though)

LOL...Somtimes I kill myself. I completly missed the Advanced Tab Setting in Modem options in Control Panel...There is was, plain as day "Extra Initionalzation Strings"

For future reference, to dave an INIT string to NVRAM, put "^Z" (Without the quotes) at the end. You can do this in Hyperterminal, direct connecting to the COM port that the modem is on.
