I have a XP Pro pc with a modem. I would like to use Remote Desktop Control but use the modem for access. Right now it works using TCP/IP but I need to remove it from the LAN and would like to remote control via dial-up. I can't figure out how to have the modem answer.

try to Run HyperTerminal and give the modem AT&F; make sure it returns OK.
Type: ATS0=1 (that's s-zero equals 1: tells the modem to answer on the first ring)

Commands nearly every modem recognizes:

ATs0 = # - # of rings to auto-answer after; if 0, disable auto-answer

AT A = Answer call

AT D = Dial

AT E# = Echo characters in command mode -
where # = 0-no echo; 1=echo

AT H = Hangup

AT M# = Modem speaker: # = 0 - speaker off; 1 - speaker on during handshake; 2 - speaker always on

AT O = Go online

AT X# = Result codes / blind dialing - # =
0 or 1 to disable speed reporting, dial-tone detect, etc.

AT Z = reset modem

AT &F = reset modem to factory defaults

AT s6 = # - # of seconds modem waits before dialing after going off-hook

AT s7 = # - # of seconds modem waits for carrier after dialing

AT s10 = # - Durations in 1/10th second modem waits before hang-up after loss of carrier

AT s11 = # - Duration in milliseconds of tone dialing

AT s2 = ### - ASCII escape code character - defaults to 43 which is the plus sign ( + )

AT s12 = ### - Duration, in 50ths of a second, of guard time for escape code sequence (default = 50)

I don't think you are going to get that to work. At least without a program like pcanywhere. Here is why:
RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) utilizes TCP/IP only. You would have to initiate a session on the pc for an IP connection via modem before you can connect to it with the Remote Desktop.

I don't think you will have much success with it

BesTechIT your're right tou need a TCPip connection via the internet, vpn connection, or local nework connection for it to work.

I have had good luck with RAdmin

I was thinking you would need software to accomplish this too! Although adding the command ATS0=1 to the advanced tab under modem properties in the extra initialization settings will make the modem answer.

Thanks all
