I've didn't find any AT-commands for this. But while im searching for, I've
found that the register 18 determine what kind of service the card will answer.
So I append S18=5 (answer data and voice calls) to the initstring in
mgetty.conf and: it works!
I've analysed the log and font out, that vgetty set S18=5. SO where is teh
difference? I played around with minicom and did a diff over the two parts of
the log and it becomes clear: when S18 is set to 5, AF+FCLASS is set to 8
automatically by i4l. And as a consequence of this, vgetty set AT+FCLASS back
to 8 at the end of initialisation.

So I'm now able to use the ISDN-card as answering machine.

Ciao, Rene
