Extra setup strings to Modems?

I have install my Modem under Win95 as a GVC 28800 External (the nearest 
one to what I have) and have noticed that it is not being sent a &D2 
which would allow it to hang up on DTR toggle.

Can anyone tell me which key in the registry I need to add / alter to 
allow this extra parameter to be sent during modem setup.

You don't have to edit registry, just start Control Panel and go to the Modems 
section. Click Properties -> Connection -> Advanced. You can specify AT&D2 in 
the Extra Settings line. These commands will be sent to the modem after Win95 
has passed its standard settings,

Note that though the above is correct you are not meant to type in the 
'AT' bit of the code in these extra-settings.

I've noticed (by looking in the ModemLog.txt file) that you don't need to
put the 'AT' on the start of your extra string. Win95 puts it on for you.

You can change this using the control panel.  Select 'modems', in the
'general' tab, click the properties button, in the 'connection' tab
click the advanced button, and add your settings to the 'extra
settings' field.

As others have said, you don't need to edit the registry to send
additional commands. However FYI you'll find the various modem
strings/commands under:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\Modem\000x 

where x=0 if you only have one modem installed.

Perhaps I stated that myself somewhere too. I based it on having entered
a string without 'AT', finding it worked, then looking in ModemLog.txt to
see that Win95 had prepended 'AT' to it.

I suppose Win95 might check if you have put 'AT' and not add another one,
otherwise I reckon ATAT would mean 'set auto answer mode' and 'use tone
dialling'.

Hi Clarke,

Do you mean that if you put it in the string, and Win95 does the same,
you get "ATAT.....etc."?

I have it in my extra string, but my MODEMLOG.TXT only shows one "AT" at
the beginning.

Perhaps you mean that if it's not there, Win95 puts it in for you, but
if it is, it doesn't?

I had problems using ATxx but after reading the Microsoft Resource Kit 
Book and Livingston and Straub's book win '95 Secrets I noticed that you 
should NOT use the AT 'prefix'. So I tried it without the 'AT' and lo and 
behold what I wanted to do with my 'extra settings' worked fine.

So there !
