An AT command is used to do a wake up to the modem to get its attention.
I reviewed the security and system logs in the event viewer.
I know this start up thing is very weard.

Never ran across a modem in the last 5 years that needs
to be "awakened".
How do you know it is trying to send an AT command? Tried removing the modem?
Have you installed XP Service Pack?

Faranth: All my bios startup managment tools are disabled.
Paladine: Using US Robotics. An AT command is the standard wake up to all modems. The modem is not the problem works fine with win98. All microsoft updates are current. By reviewing the "Event viewer" you can see the history of what is happening on your pc.

It has to be in the BIOS. Think about it; if the unit is turned off, there is no OS to send an "ON" signal to the hardware, only a timed-turn-on "alarm clock" mode in the BIOS.
Try resetting the BIOS using the CMOS-reset jumper and reprogram it.

I installed the Bios upgrade and still had same problem.
I reset the bios to defaults and problem went away.
Sooo flash was currupt and it didn't show that daily turn was activated.
Thanks all.

a reset of bios default/save changes is reccomended on the first boot after a flash !
