Typically, a BBS will look at the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) line to know when a call has come in. However, some BBS's will look for a CONNECT message and send ATA to start the connection. Some BBS software does a combination of the two, where auto-answer is required (ATS0=1) and the connect message is waited on.
What BBS software are you using? By the way, it is CRITICAL that you know what type of connection you will be using - either telnet or raw. Telnet is common for PC's and portals. A direct connection requires a raw protocol. If you are using a raw connection then the WiModem MUST be set to have Telnet translation OFF (AT*T0), and if you are using a Telnet connection protocol then the Telnet translation MUST be turned on (AT*T1). If you don't, then file transfers will not work correctly!
