Tried changing "wait for dial tone before dialling". No effect on delay.
The modem log file extract below shows where the delay occurs:
07-14-2004 22:57:40.680 - Modem type: Conexant HCF V.92 56K Speakerphone PCI
Modem
07-14-2004 22:57:40.680 - Modem inf path: oem2.inf
07-14-2004 22:57:40.680 - Modem inf section: Modem
07-14-2004 22:57:40.680 - Matching hardware ID:
pci\ven_14f1&dev_1085&subsys_108514f1
07-14-2004 22:57:59.037 - 115200,8,N,1, ctsfl=1, rtsctl=2
07-14-2004 22:57:59.037 - Initializing modem.
07-14-2004 22:57:59.057 - Send: AT<cr>
Task Manager lists 2 copies of SVCHOST.EXE with Username SYSTEM. One of
which has a high CPU use during the delay.
Does this help?
