Saving Money With Analog Calls
By default, the I-modem anticipates the rare occasion that telephone
company equipment incorrectly allows a digital connection when you call
a modem or fax machine. In these situations, although the I-modem
proceeds with the call as a standard analog (fax or modem) call, the
telephone company bills the call as digital.
Digital and Analog Billing Structures
Often the billing structure for digital ("data") calls is different than for
analog ("3.1 kHz audio") calls. In some areas, telephone companies charge
a flat rate for analog local calls and bill digital calls by usage at a metered
rate. Although all long-distance calls are typically metered, long-distance
digital calls tend to be slightly more expensive than long-distance analog
calls.
To do this
Prevent the I-modem from behaving like a
fax/modem over digital connections
When you use this setting, and the I-modem detects an analog device over
a digital connection, it ends the call. If you check the call status
information by sending I6 , the I-modem reports:
Disconnect Reason is Analog Destination Over a Digital
Network Connection.
Forcing Analog Calls
If your calls to analog devices fail and you can't figure out why, you can
always:
To do this
Force analog calls (and be billed at analog
rates)
