- * The phrases
- * REGULAR FOREGROUND=<color>
- * REGULAR BACKGROUND=<color>
- * MESSAGE FOREGROUND=<color>
- * MESSAGE BACKGROUND=<color>
- * are used to select screen colors.
- *
- * choose 'COLORS' entries (below) from this list:
- *
- * foreground/background foreground only
- * --------------------- ---------------
- * BLACK DARKGRAY
- * BLUE LIGHTBLUE
- * GREEN LIGHTGREEN
- * CYAN LIGHTCYAN
- * RED LIGHTRED
- * MAGENTA LIGHTMAGENTA
- * BROWN YELLOW

- * besides WHITE/BLACK, monochrome systems can also use

- * Up to 10 PHONE DIRECTORY entries may be contained in each
- * configuration file. Files other than the default COMM.FIL
- * may be loaded by choosing "Load Phone Directory" from the
- * DIALING menu.
- *
- * The heading PHONE DIRECTORY must be first. A blank line
- * ends the entries. Each entry is composed of Name, Phone
- * Number, Baud Rate, Parameters, Echo Flag, Flow-Control Flag,
- * and Add-Linefeed Flag. Each item is separated by a semicolon.
- * Each entry must be on a separate line.

- BIX direct ;1-617-861-9767; 2400; 7-E-1; noecho; flow; addlf=no
-
- * MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE A BLANK LINE BEFORE THIS ONE.

- *
- * The MODEM STRINGS section contains the commands and the
- * response phrases for the modem.
- *
- * In a command string, a vertical bar ("|") is a signal
- * to send a carriage-return. A tilde ("~") causes a
- * pause of one second at that point in the command.
- *
- * ------------------------------------------------------------

- MODEM STRINGS
- dial command=ATDT
- modem init=

- hangup=~+++~~ATH~|
- answer_on=ATS0=1|~
- answer_off=ATS0=0|~
- phone busy=BUSY
- no carrier=NO CARRIER
- connect=CONNECT
- modem ok=OK
- modem error=ERROR
-
- * ------------------------------------------------------------
- *
- * The entries under KEYBOARD PHRASES are "attached" to the
- * keypresses ALT 1 through ALT 9. Assigning the phrase
- * "LOGON username" to "macro 1", for example, allows you
- * to press ALT 1 and the result be as if you typed the phrase
- * yourself at the keyboard.
- *
- * Inside a phrase, a vertical bar ("|") is a signal
- * to send a carriage-return. A tilde ("~") causes a
- * pause of one second at that point in the phrase.

- *
- * The INITIAL COMM PARAMETERS section sets the modem
- * and serial port to an initial state.
- *
- * "com port=" can have a value of 1, 2, 3, or 4.
- *
- * "baud rate=" should be selected from this list:
- * 110 150 300 600
- * 1200 2400 4800 9600
- * 19200 38400
- *
- * "parms=" specifies the Data Bits, Parity, and Stop Bits
- * to the serial port. Data Bits can be 5, 6, 7, or 8.
- * Parity can be E, N, or O (for Even, None, or Odd).
- * Stop Bits can be 1 or 2. A typical entry: 7-E-1.
- *
- * "echo=" specifies whether local-echo is initially "on"
- * or "off".
- *
- * "break ms=" specifies the number of milliseconds that a
- * BREAK signal should last. The usual value is 250.
- *
- * "dial wait=" specifies the number of seconds to wait
- * for the other computer to answer the phone.
- *
- * "initial menu=" specifies which of the pulldown menus
- * should appear first when the program loads.
- * 1 = DIALING, 2 = FILE, 3 = TERMINAL,
- * 4 = MODEM CONTROL, 5 = EXIT, and 6 = HELP.
- *
- * "use carrier=" can be set to "yes" or "no". If "yes",
- * the program expects the modem and RS232 cable to report
- * the true state of Carrier-Detect. If your modem is set
- * so that Carrier-Detect is always on, or if your RS232
- * cable is not wired to report Carrier-Detect (pin 8),
- * you should set this to "no".
- *
- * "use alt=no" can be used to turn off the triggering of
- * the menus when you press and release the ALT key.
- *
- * "auto answer=" can be set to "yes" or "no", or omitted
- * entirely. If present, the modem will be initialized
- * to answer the phone (or not) when the program first
- * loads.
- *
- * "mouse=" can be set to "yes" or "no". If set to "no",
- * the program will not use a mouse even if one is present.
- * You should set this to "no" if you experience problems
- * between the communications program and foreground
- * applications that also use the mouse.

- *
- * The entries under FILE TRANSFER PARAMETERS control the
- * way file transfers occur.
- *
- * "send LF with CR" is used for ASCII-SEND. If "yes",
- * linefeeds in text files are sent.
- *
- * "char send delay" and "line send delay" are in milliseconds,
- * and cause delays after each character and line are sent
- * during an ASCII-SEND.
- *
- * "foreground ticks" and "background ticks" give the number
- * of 55-millisecond intervals the program apportions to the
- * foreground (DOS, or an application program) and to the
- * background (the communications program) during a file
- * transfer.
- *
- * "xmodem timeout=" is given in seconds, and indicates the
- * time period to wait for further XModem/YModem characters
- * before declaring a timeout error for the current block.
- * A value of 1 is fairly standard, but larger values (such
- * as 5) can be used to relax the error-checking. This is
- * especially useful when transferring files via packet-
- * switching networks such as TYMNET.
