Hi,

Has anybody experienced this:

[Left out initialization part]
[This is the last part of initialization]
08/14 06:20:30 y06   voice command: 'AT#VTD=3F,3F,3F' -> 'OK'
08/14 06:20:30 y06    vgetty: AT#VTD=3F,3F,3F
08/14 06:20:30 y06    Rockwell: AT#VTD=3F,3F,3F
08/14 06:20:30 y06    Rockwell: OK
08/14 06:20:31 y06   voice command: 'AT#VSS=3' -> 'OK'
08/14 06:20:31 y06    vgetty: AT#VSS=3
08/14 06:20:31 y06    Rockwell: RING[00][ec]S=3
08/14 06:20:36 y06    Rockwell: RING
...
08/14 06:41:30 y06    Rockwell: RING
08/14 15:16:33 y06    Rockwell: RING
08/14 15:16:38 y06    Rockwell: RING
etc...

As you can see, vgetty won't answer anymore.

Should I see this as a modem bug?
And how should it be solved? Should the modem
be reinitialized if a part fails, or should the
ring be detected, or what?

Of course it makes sense to continue initializing,
and reissue only the failed command, but the RING
keeps coming, so that would be difficult thing
to program. (issue one or two commands, wait for
the next ring or timeout on it, next few commands,
until initialization is done, and then answer...)

Well anyway, thanks for any ideas,
