Is there a way to edit the settings on a shared fax modem with VB?

I would like to turn the auto answer on and off from any machine on the
network.

Thanks,
Todd

sending ats0=0 would be a way if i'm not misstaken to turn it
(answeing) off, why would anyone want to turn it on ;)
but thats on normal modems (or was it ats1... ) it might differ, you
dont give much to go on.

This is a USR Sportster 33.6 serial modem connected to a remote server.

How does one send AT commands to the port remotely?

I was thinking more of getting a handle on the fax object.

Thanks,
Todd

Oh, thought it might be a vintage shared fax "server"
http://www.recycledgoods.com/zoom.aspx?productID=18414 ish....

remote administration of server like VNC, "mstsc /v:servername" (oops
that didnt include VB)
any API for the software? (RightFax/GoldFax)
any way to do it from the server might be simulated using a VB app to
control that using (local) VB with appactivate and sendkey and
remotley control that...
controlling a relay to cut the telephone-line via another serial port
using the control signals RTS/CTS/DTR/DSR (never remeber what is out
on PC) and some electronics or something like ADAM-4060 (sounds like
fun)

Just some ideas..
