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:

8. COM port locking : On
9. Locked baud rate : 19200 baud
A. CTS/RTS flow control : On
B. XON/XOFF flow control: Off

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.)
