The first of a slew of Qs I'll have {it in re\/} Remote Access:

How can I customize the initialization for my modem and the modem I 
dial in to? Specifically, I want to change to autoanswer on 5 rings. 

I first make a backup copy of, e.g., Abaton Fax in the extensions 
folder and change the ATS0 command using MS Word 4.0. Of course, this 
creates a _MSW_ type document. Remote Access only recognizes docs with
the right creator type so this changed file is invisible to it.

So how do I change the doc type of my modified MSW modem
initialization file into Remote Access? I tried ResEdit but can't
figure it out. 

As far as modems are concerned, I've asked for a Prometheus Ultima 
Home Office to be put on the line I dial up. It's 14,400 bps data, 
9600 fax, and voice mail -- autodetecting each mode. MacWorld didn't 
say great things about its technical merits but I need its _features_.
Anybody else have opinions or suggestions for a modem configuration to
be used on a Merlin telephone system with multiple lines, etc.?

Thank you.
