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 “0” 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.
