Visual C++: I need change the parameter &quot;wait for dial-tone&quot; in the modem configuration of a phone book entry.<br>I didn`t found nothing related in MSDN and in the MSVC help!<br>Please, help me! It`s urgent!
 
Dear Cesarion,<br><br>I'm not positive on this but I believe that attribute would be designated in the modem configuration. The RAS phone book entries are designated to use one of the modem configurations of the system. This is where you find the wait for dial tone attribute. So you would probably have to use TAPI to edit the entry or maybe even just edit the registry entry if that's where it's stored. If it's in a private file and there is no TAPI function to change the entry then you may not be able to do it at all.<br><br>Good luck<br>-pete
 
Hi Pete! Thanks for your response!<br>I`m using two ways to make telephonic calls in my application:<br>1) I`m using TAPI to dial the code and numbers to program and to cancel the &quot;follow me&quot;. To dial using TAPI I`m changing the registry configuration for the used modem. It works.<br>2) After programmed the &quot;follow me&quot;, I`m using RASAPI to make a connection. But, then dialing to the ISP number, the dial-up connection configured use a particular modem configuration which doesn`t use the init-string of the registry...<br><br>This is my main problem: how can I change the modem configuration to a specific dial-up connection?<br><br>Do you know where may I find help about this class of question?<br><br>TIA<br>Cesario
