USING THE MODEM SETUP FILES:
If this is not your first time using TE/2, you probably already have
a working setup for your modem and may chose to totally ignore these
files.  We ask that you glance at the file for your modem however to
see how our recommended setup differs from yours.  As mentioned
above, if you notice any errors or think that your setup is superior
to the one recommended here, or if your modem is not even covered
here and you have a workable setup, please let us know about this and
we will revise and/or expand the list in the next release of TE/2.

If this is your first time using TE/2, notice that the default
TE2.INI file has the line "include modem.inc" near the top.  By
default, MODEM.INC is identical to the file GEN2400.INC (Generic 2400
baud Hayes clone).  If you are using a modem that matches this
description, you can "give it a try" and run TE/2 using the default
configuration and all should be well.  If this description does NOT
match your modem or the default setup does not work, you should do
the following:

        1) If you can locate your modem in the list above, proceed to
           step 2.  If you cannot locate your modem, go to step 7.

        2) Using a file browser or text editor, look at the contents
           of the file you located.  Some of the files contain
           information on recommended DIP switch and/or jumper
           settings, onetime modem setups for NRAM, and other notes
           and suggestions.

        3) If there are recommended DIP switch and/or jumper settings,
           use your modem manual to verify that these recommendations
           are valid and, if they are, make any modifications
           necessary to your modem switches and/or jumpers.

        4) If there are any "NOTES", read through them.

        5) Copy the file over the default MODEM.INC file using the
           OS/2 command "copy XXX MODEM.INC" (where "XXX" is the
           name of the file you have been examining).  Alternately,
           instead of copying over the default file, you may place
           the file in your TE/2 working directory with its original
           name and edit TE2.INI to change the "include" statement
           so that it refers to the proper file.

        6) If there is a "ONE TIME MODEM SETUP" section in the file,
           first look up each of the modem commands given as the
           suggested settings in the file and verify that they are
           valid.  Make any modifications to these lines you deem
           necessary.  Then, upon starting up TE/2 for the first
           time, type "AT" and press enter.  If you cannot see what
           you are typing, press Alt-E and try again.  The modem
           should respond "OK" after you type "AT" each time.  Now
           type the suggested modem setup lines as they appear in
           the file comments, the modem should respond with "OK"
           after each one.  Exit and restart TE/2; you should be
           finished now.

        7) If you could NOT locate your modem in the list above, try
           and find one that is close.  Failing that, select one of
           the generic files and, using your modem manual, modify
           the file as required.  Please read the notes in each of
           the generic files for pointers.  Some things to remember
           are that Carrier Detect (CD) should NOT be forced high,
           DTR should NOT be forced on, and if your modem has a
           setting for CTS/RTS handling, you should enable it both
           "at the modem" (via switch and/or AT command) and in TE/2
           via the "CtsRts" setting.  For V.32 or other high speed
           modems, look into one of the other V.32-type files for
           hints.

        8) Follow the directions in Step 5.  If you have decided that
           you need to change your modems NRAM setup, follow the
           instructions in Step 6.

        9) If you were successful with your setup, please send a copy
           of your setup to Oberon Software.  We will include it with
           the next release of TE/2 to help other users.  If you
           are having problems, please consult your modem manual
           again to verify any DIP switch settings, jumper settings,
           NRAM settings, and/or initialization string settings.  If
           you continue to have problems that you cannot resolve,
           you may call Oberon Software for assistance (refer to the
           TE/2 documentation for phone numbers and email addresses).
