As I mentioned in my earlier post there is not a modem in the UK which
works
with HAL. There is a modem test program installed with HAL and I suggest
you
run this to try and get some idea of compatibility of your current one. I
have a US Robotice all singing and dancing external one which is crap with
HAL. Essentially it does not work at all and I gave up after struggling for
a while. Lots of other good HV stuff to play with to keep me out of trouble
(or in it).

Call Quantun Systems on 01792 464636 for an up to date view. They are the
official UK distributors. I have found them to be very helpful but hindered
a bit by lack of support from the US.

Another question regarding HAL2000. I downloaded the trial version and have
been playing about with it. I even went out and bought a brand new internal
voice/fax modem to get the voicemail options working. I'm having problems
with this though, firstly when I call into my PC, HAL answers and then
seems to try to set up a data/fax call rather than play my recorded message
and take the call. Also when I use HAL to dial out a number, it fails
completely. It seems to take the phone off hook alright, but seems to have
problems dialling digits (no pulse or tones can be heard). My modem works
fine, as I use it on internet, and other software that came with it for
answermachine capabilities works fine.

Any ideas, or has anyone come across this  ?

Regards,

Eamon
