How can I use Way2call and PcAnywhere together? I have the USB Way2Call modem and am using it with an XP machine running the lastest Homeseer software. I have a second machine with a standard data modem in it running PcAnyshere software (typically I use PcAnywhere over IP to control that machine when I am away from the house). There are times (typically when the cable modem goes down ) that it would be nice to call into the PcAnywhere machine via the phone line used by the Way2Call Homeseer machine. The tech at Way2Call said I should let the Way2Call modem answer first and if it detects a modem signal for it to use a command to transfer the incoming modem call to the Way2Call phone jack which they suggest the data modem in the 2nd machine be plugged into. The tech said I would need a short script that would do the transfer from within HomeSeer. Has anyone done this and does anyone have a script I could use? Or a better method of hooking the Way2Call and PcAnywhere to the same phone line?

No - W2C is a Voice and Telephone device and it is not a modem in the sense of communication of serial data.

that is true - but they say you can make via a homeseer script the way2call switch a call to the phone port which could have the data modem on it. If what the way2call tech said was trueComment

Out of my league - I just talk to it.
Good luck up there.
