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 ô0ö 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.
