I have a feeling that I'm overlooking something simple, but I am
having trouble getting a Bitfax modem to autoanswer.  We got it
about a year ago, but didn't get around to setting it up until
now. In the meantime, we lost the manual.

I've loaded the RECVFAX into background memory, on autoanswer,
and tried using Alt-Y in Procomm, but in neither case will it
pick up the phone.  Do I have to reset dip switches to have it do
so?  (This is a Dell PC compatible, which requires unscrewing the
cover to get at the boards, so I'm not eager to crack it open
until I know.)

If this isn't the correct group, I'll take directions on which
one to go to.
