     MODEM CONFIGURATION
     -------------------

     Modem Configuration allows you to set up how the modem and Renegade will
     work together.

        NOTE! - To run Renegade, you MUST install a Fossil driver to run
        ~~~~    Renegade.

     Upon selecting this option, the following menu is displayed:
     ______________________________________________________________________
        Modem/Node Configuration

        1. Maximum baud rate    : 19200
        2. COM port number      : 2
        3. Modem init string    : at&f2q0v&c1&d2x4s0=0s2=1h0m1w2|
        4. Modem answer string  : ata|
        5. Modem hangup string  : ath0|
        6. Modem offhook string : atm0h1|
        7. Inactivity init time : 30
        8. COM port locking     : On
        9. Locked baud rate     : 19200 baud
        A. CTS/RTS flow control : On
        B. XON/XOFF flow control: Off
        C. ACS for this node    :
        D. Path for door files  : E:\RENEGADE\
        R. Modem result codes:

        Enter selection or (Q)uit :
     ______________________________________________________________________

     Note  that  the  command strings can  contain  the  following  special
     characters:

          "|"       Sends a carriage return (M) to the modem.

          "x"      Sends a control character to the modem. (M can be typed
                    as a | here.)

          "~"       Performs a half-second delay before sending the next
                    character to the modem.

     Each menu option is described in detail below.

          1    This is the baud rate that Renegade will use when waiting
               for calls at the WFC menu.  This should be set to the
               modem's maximum baud rate, either 300, 1200, 2400, 4800,
               9600, 19200, 38400 or 57600 baud.

          2    This is the COM port that your modem is connected to, which
               can be COM1 through COM8.

          3    This is the command that initializes the modem.  This is
               VERY important, as it tells the modem how to operate under
               the BBS environment.

          4    This is the command that enables the modem to answer an
               incoming call.

          5    This is the command that hangs up the modem.

          6    This is the command that places the modem offhook. (Makes the
               phone line busy.)

          7    This sets the time (in minutes) in which the modem will be
               reinitialized if no one has called.  (Warning: Do not set this
               to zero.  If you do, the modem will be constantly
               reinitializing.)

          8    This option lets you lock the COM port if you have a 9600 baud
               or faster modem.

          9    This option sets the baud rate to lock the COM port at if you
               have option 8 set to "Yes".

          A    This option toggles CTS/RTS flow control on or off.  Flow
               control tells the computer or modem when to start and stop
               sending or receiving information to/from the other device.
               (RTS/CTS is also known as Hardware Flow Control.)

          B    Set this to the opposite of RTS/CTS flow control.
               (It's technically same as RTS/CTS except it's Software Flow
               Control.  RTS/CTS is better if you can support it.)

          C    The minimum ACS setting required to be met by the user trying
               to logon to the node so they can stay on.

          D    The complete path to where the door files (CALLINFO.BBS,
               DORINFOx.DEF, DOOR.SYS, etc.) will be written to for this node.
               (If blank, files are written to main BBS directory)

          R    These are the result codes returned by the modem when the NO
               CARRIER, NO DIALTONE, BUSY and various baud rate conditions
               are encountered.  Case 1 result codes are the main codes
               returned by the modem.  Case 2 result codes are provided for
               persons using MNP class modems. (Also called ARQ mode.)
