Hello !

If your modem is hayes-compatible, you should send the following command to it in order to 
disable the auto-answer mode :

	ATS0=0

I don't know exactly wich file contains the start-up configuration of your modem, but if you 
locate it you can find a line containing ATS0=1 and replace it by the ATS0='number of rings'

Regards.
