Modem will not connect with incoming call after PC has been idle over a hour or two. It answers but will complete the connection but after that it will work fine until no activity for a few hours. All of the PC's that this is happen on are running XP Pro I shut off all power saving options but no change. They all need to connect at 9600 I am not sure if the V.92 modems thinks that 9600 is a bad connection and drops it or not. I have this same setup and modems running on a few Win 2k boxs and they work fine every time. Has anyone had trouble with 4.8 on XP?
 
Have you tried using Hyperterminal on those machines to see if you can determine if this is a Procomm problem or somewhere deeper in the machine (modem, Windows, etc.)?

 
Sorry for not gettig back to you sooner but have been out of town. I am tring Hyper term to answen incoming call and then have procomm process it. I am not sure it will work that way but giving it a try.
 
Knob after some testing the incoming calls are connecting to the procomm pc's modem but procomm software does not know it. This is looking more and more like an XP/Procomm problem.

After a lot of checking it turns out that the problem I was having is the fact that Procomm will not work right on XP. So I took all 3 pc's and put win2k on them and they now they work fine. Thanks for your help!
