SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
TO RUN CIM SUCCESSFULLY, YOU NEED SOME HARDWARE:
- An Amiga with Kickstart/Workbench 2.1 (not tested), 3.0 or better strongly recommended. (Old versions (V1.337 and older) may run under WB V1.3 with arp.library in LIBS:)
- A hard drive, CIM uses direct disk accesses to find the caller data
- MC680X0 microprocessor
- 3 Mb of free memory (Old versions may also barely run on Amigas with 2 Mb RAM)
- A modem supporting Caller ID (CID) such as PowerBit, Telia, Supra with CID ROM, Hayes, Pace, Intertex (V.34 with ROM V1.13A or better).
To test if your modem has the CallerId support, write the following in a terminal program: AT#CID=1, if you do not get an error message then your modem is likely to have CallerId-support.
However this dosen't mean it will work in your country because there are different modulations and versions of CallerId data transfer. Contact your local phone company and refer your modems manual
for further details.
As a rough rule, example Intertex and other European modems should work in Europe (Except in Great Britain, which has it's own CallerId-system, at least new Pace-modems
should work there), Supra and other US-made in (Norhern) America and so on.
CallSign /Distinctive Ring may also require a special CallSign support in your modem. Intertex (PowerBit, Telia) owners: Distinctive Ring is enabled with command: 'AT-SDR=7'.
Its advised to store the correct settings after found. Usually its done with command 'AT&W'.
Remember to verify these settings after firmware upgrade.
CIM has been developed and tested on the following platforms:
- Amiga 4000/040 25 Mhz, 18 MB ram, AOS 3.0 (Kick & Wb), Intertex 28.8 V.34 external modem (ROM V1.13A->)
- Amiga 4000/060 50 MHz + 604e 180 Mhz (Cyberstorm PPC from phase 5), 64 MB RAM, AOS 3.0, 3.1 (Kick 3.0) and 3.5 (Kick 3.1), rbm's IOBlix io-card, Intertex IX56 Extended external modem
