CALL ANSWER(<Variable>)
Parameter
<Variable> stores the result of the detection. It must be an integer variable.
The value is displayed on the receiver screen. Only these speeds are correctly detected:
| Value | Norm | Receive Speed | Transmit Speed | Equalizer | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | V21 | 300 baud | 300 baud | No | |
| 2 | V23 | 1200 baud | 75 baud | No | |
| 3 | V23 | 75 baud | 1200 baud | No | |
| 4 | V23 | 1200 baud | 75 baud | Yes | Only with MDM-Basic |
| 5 | V23 | 75 baud | 1200 baud | Yes | Only with MDM-Basic |
| 6 | V23 | 600 baud | 75 baud | No | Only with MDM-Basic |
| 7 | V23 | 75 baud | 600 baud | No | Only with MDM-Basic |
Any other answer value than the ones correctly detected by the used BASIC extension means that is no caller or that an caller uses an unknown speed.
