- BBS Modem Initializer

- Archive inventory: SETMODEM.COM - Program file
- MODEM.DAT - User defined init. string file
- SETMODEM.PAS - Turbo Pascal 3.1 source
- SETMODEM.DOC - This doc.
-
- This program will allow you to send any Hayes command up to 8 characters
- long (for example, ATS16=1O, the = counts as a character) to your Hayes/
- compatible modem. It was written and timed for an 8mhz IBM AT using a
- Hayes Smartmodem 1200, it should work satisfactorily on any compatible.
-
-
- Although originally intended as a modem initializer for the Collie 1.20
- BBS, it may be used as a convenient way to send modem commands without
- starting up a terminal program. I use it to send the offhook command when
- I am doing board maintenance.
-
- COLLIE 1.20 users who have had no success in getting their board to
- handle the modem properly (i.e. ANSWER THE PHONE!) will find this a useful
- addition to their C.BAT file. SETMODEM should be inserted into the batch
- file just before :LOOP, as you only need to run SETMODEM once.
-
- Also before you use SETMODEM with Collie 1.20 you must modify COLLIE.COM
- with a sector editor (Norton Utilities, PC-Tools etc.).
-
- To modify COLLIE.COM....
-
- 1) MAKE A BACK-UP OF COLLIE.COM!
-
- 2) Load a sector editor and view relative sector 68.
-
- 3) Change the string 'ATZ' to 'ATH'.
-
-
- If you have followed these instructions correctly you will have a
- COLLIE.COM file that will not wipe out the initialization strings that
- SETMODEM sends.
-
- The only remaining task is to determine what initialization strings you
- are going to need to send to the modem. Generally the ones that you had
- in your MODMINIT.BBS are satisfactory. All you have to do is rename
- MODMINIT.BBS to MODEM.DAT. The file structure is the same.
