I have an application using MSComm in VB6. This application is used to connect to a remote unit to download data from its datalogger. Once connected, I send a command to it to trigger the sending of the data. OK? With me so far? thought so....
Well... using a "normal" modem, I get ComEents 1 and 2 occuring quite normally. However, when using my Nokia 6310i modem, it triggers other events... this is causing a problem.
The Remote unit requires 2400,7,e,1 (re-arrange if necessary!) and Handshake = 2 port settings
Using the Nokia modem I get a CommEvent 4 as soon as the Remote Unit Answers then CommEvent 3 when the connection is made "CONNECT 2400"
Then when I send my command - nothing happens...
Why?
How can I correct this please - its driving me bats!!!

sounds like you need to initialize the modem to not send responce codes. Your nokia is responding with connect and connect2400 which the others are not responding back with. Under hayes compatibility modems you have the chioce of receaving or not receaving responce to connects.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
