Using serial port - Dialtone detection?

[Jon Payne]

Hi Andy,

Yeah I was looking at doing this sort of thing too but to a Windows box,
however I don't think I have the RiscOS knowhow to achieve it so I'm just
going to go the Modem route i.e. bung a modem on the PC and mimic a phone
line WITHOUT the dial tone - so I hope that dial tone detection can be
easily turned off... anyone know?

Jon.
