A
feature supported by many
modems that enables your
computer to accept incoming calls even if you are not present. In
auto-answer mode , a modem attempts to establish a connection whenever the telephone rings. This is an important feature if you are offering a service to which others can subscribe.
Auto-answer is also a critical feature for fax modems because it enables you to receive fax documents while you are away. All fax machines are auto-answer.
