I have also had the same problem.  However, not with a DALLAS Fax 14.4k modem.

When in Unattended mode, when a caller calls, ring will report on the status
window, but Binkley never answers.  After the number of rings in Binkley.CFG
has been reached, then it hangs up and goes back to waiting.  This was with
version 2.50.  WIth 2.56Beta, it is the same way.  Also, what has happened to
BTCTL.EXE in the packages?  The Beta version I understand is not complete per
the documents.  I don't see the BTCTL program.  I understand and in the past,
have used it to make the necessary files binkley needs, i.e., (MAIL.SYS).

Obviously your modem init strings has the command "V1" as Binkley is reporting
ring versus a numeric response.  What about the S0 register?  Is it set to
S0=0 to allow the software to answer vs the modem?  Yea, I know what you must
be going through, I am going the same rough road...
