- Subject: MWave and MSMail remote client
- Replacement for document TP755E03.DOC dated previous to 03/13/95 2:19 PM
-
- This MSMail fix is for users of the 755CE, 755CsE or 755CD with the DSP modem.
- It WILL NOT work if applied to other systems and users may experience problems
- with MicroSoft MSMail Remote. Following is a short study into apparent
- incompatibilities between MicroSoft Mail Windows Remote Client v3.x and the
- DSP MWave modem as shipped in the IBM ThinkPad 7xx (755CE, 755CsE, 755CD)
- series.
-
- When a user attempts to use MicroSoft Mail Windows Remote Client v3.x on an
- IBM ThinkPad with the MWave modem installed, the installation will complete
- normally. When the user attempts to connect to the postoffice to send/receive
- mail, the software will appear to hang with the message "Initializing modem".
-
- Apply the following fix to eliminate the problem: Obtain the MSMMWAVE.EXE file
- from the IBM BBS (1-919-517-0001).
-
- 1. Execute the MSMMWAVE.EXE file and follow the instructions displayed on the
- terminal. This will create the following files:
-
- MWAVE.SCR Compiled MSMail modem file
- MWAVE.MDM Source file for the compiled MDM file. If necessary your
- system administrator can modify this file and recompile for
- you
- TP755E03.TXT Text version of this document
- README.TXT Important information customers should be aware of.
-
- 2. Copy the MWAVE.SCR file to c:\windows\msmail\msrmt\glb.
-
- This script file contains the standard modem setup strings used by the
- External, Transmit and Listen programs. There are five procedures defined
- in this script file for setting up the modem and for connecting to a remote
- External machine.
-
- The modem setup strings used here will be adequate for most people but there
- may be some changes required if you are dialing overseas and require a longer
- wait for Carrier Detect (S7 register) or if you wish to change the speaker
- volume. Note that if you used the -Innn option in version 1.0 or 2.0 that
- you will have to modify the S7 register and recompile this script file.
-
- The MWAVE.MDM file is the text version of the script file and is included for
- your Mail Administrator who will have the necessary script complier required
- to create a usable MWAVE.SCR file if chages are necessary. For more
- information regarding modem options consult your modem manual.
-
- 3. Edit the MSMAIL.INI file, located in the Windows subdirectory, and add the
- following line under the [sfsremote] section.:
-
- NOTE: the ô0ö is a zero.
-
- EXCLUSIVE=0
-
- NOTE: To establish communications with two modems, both modems must have the
- appropriate modem script installed. If the customer does not have a script
- he should check the MicroSoft MSWGA forum on CompuServ, library number 3.
-
- NOTE: If the user starts heavy system usage applications such as PageMaker or
- CorelDraw during a communication session he may experience loss of carrier.
- This is no different than any other communication application. At the worst
- there is potential of corrupting the file resulting in data loss.
-
-
- ThinkPad 755 CE, CsE, CD
- and all MWAVE modems
- Update for Microsoft MSMail Remote
