The call may be established whether or not the called DTE is attended. 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. 6, record 1, English, - automatic%20answering
