The TriBBS Bulletin Board System 23
that you can specify a modem initialization string by using
a "/I" command line switch. Simply follow "/I" with the
initialization string while executing BBS.EXE.
Initial Baud Rate....... : 2400 <- This is a toggle field
This is the speed that TriBBS will open the node's serial
port at. It should be set to your modem's highest allowable
baud rate. This field can be toggled between 0, 300, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, and 57600. You should note
that note all serial ports can support speeds greater than
19200. If you have an older computer, you may need to
upgrade the UART in the computer's serial card to a 16550
UART. Almost all internal, high-speed modems feature 16550
UARTs.
IRQ Setting............. : Standard <- This is a toggle field
This field specifies what IRQ the modem's serial port is
using. This should normally be left at "Standard" unless
you have configured your computer's serial port or internal
modem to use a nonstandard IRQ. TriBBS will all you to set
the IRQ from 1 to 15.
Here is how IRQs are used on a PC or XT compatible computer:
