This article was previously published under Q81315 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, the External Mail program (EXTERNAL.EXE)
and the Remote Workstation client require the Modem's Auto Answer feature
to be turned off. These programs poll the serial port looking for a ring
signal that prevents the client from incurring phone costs due to invalid
or unsuccessful connections (such as when the External Mail program is down
or busy).
