Hi,

answering a incoming data call with vgetty (yes, latest version too)
succeeds using a Highscreen BahnBoostar=Elsa Microlink 56k Modem with
Firmware 1.29:

10/27 00:13:09 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: <VOICE DATA 24895 bytes>
10/27 00:13:09 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: <DLE> <ETX>
10/27 00:13:09 yS1   voice command: '' -> 'OK|VCON'
10/27 00:13:09 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: VCON
10/27 00:13:09 yS1    vgetty: trying data and fax connection
10/27 00:13:09 yS1   voice command: 'AT#CLS=2' -> 'OK'
10/27 00:13:09 yS1    vgetty: AT#CLS=2
10/27 00:13:09 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: OK
10/27 00:13:09 yS1   voice command: 'AT+FAA=1' -> 'OK'
10/27 00:13:09 yS1    vgetty: AT+FAA=1
10/27 00:13:09 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: OK

and fails using Firmware 1.52 or 1.46:

10/26 19:00:34 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: <VOICE DATA 22823 bytes>
10/26 19:00:34 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: <DLE> <ETX>
10/26 19:00:34 yS1   voice command: '' -> 'OK|VCON'
10/26 19:00:34 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: VCON
10/26 19:00:34 yS1    vgetty: trying data and fax connection
10/26 19:00:34 yS1   voice command: 'AT#CLS=2' -> 'OK'
10/26 19:00:34 yS1    vgetty: AT#CLS=2
10/26 19:00:34 yS1    Elsa MicroLink: 
[e0][e0][00][00][e0][00][e0][00][e0][e0][e0][00][e0][e0][e0][00][00][e0][00]
10/26 19:00:45 yS1  vgetty: timeout while reading character from voice modem
10/26 19:00:45 yS1  vgetty: Could not switch to data/fax mode

Is this known? What's going wrong? Why this? Anyone else?
