- Setup hints for BGFAX with US Robotics Modems & AdeptXBBS 1.06 12-28-95

- FidoNet 1:106/400 InterNet: bjg90783@jetson.uh.edu
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: US Robotics owners, please read over the USR section in the READ.ME
- file before proceeding!
-
- Please make sure the following three items are true before proceeding...
- (1) Your modem is NOT set to "Auto Answer" mode (REGISTER S0 MUST EQUAL 0)
- (2) DIP switch #5 is in the "SUPPRESS AUTO ANSWER" position
- (3) You have already put all relevant DATA commands for the BBS into NVRAM
-
- Note that, generally, fax (AT+F) commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.
-
- Here is the relevant information...
-
- [AdeptXBBS] Config -> Active Line -> General Settings
-
- "ATO on DATA" should NOT have a check mark!
- ^^^
- (Note: There is a bug in the Sportster 288 DSVD modem that may require you to
- put a check mark on the ATO for Data. This affects the 288 DSVD modem ONLY,
- and not the Sportster 288 or Sportster 288 Voice, just the *DSVD* product.)
-
- Answer .... AT+FAA=1;+FNR=1,1,1;A|
- Init ...... v~^~ATZ|~AT+FCLASS=2.0|
-
- (Note: There is a bug in Adept 1.05 and 1.06 that causes Adept not to
- initialize a USR modem properly if you actually put the 2nd part of the
- init line on the 2nd line on the init box, as suggested in the new 1.06
- fax setup. If you do that, the USR modem will not get the fax commands
- initialized properly, that's why I've put the AT+FCLASS=2.0| on the first
- line of the init section. This bug was supposedly fixed in 1.06, but it's
- still here. Bug tracking number is 110695.3. It's not fixed in 1.06.)
-
- Dial Pref.. v~^~AT+FCLASS=0DT
- Dial Suf... |
-
- Answer on Ring: 2
- Ring Response: RING
-
- : +fclass=0dt enables data mode operation on outgoing calls
- : +fclass=2.0 enables fax mode operation
- : +fli="713 555 1212" sets your FAX ID, up to 20 characters
- : +fnr=1,1,1,1 tells modem to let BGFAX know connect speed, etc.
-
- [AdeptXBBS] Config -> Active Line -> Dial Strings
-
- If you make use of any of these special dial strings, they too must start
- with AT+FCLASS=0 followed by any special modems commands, then followed by
- the DT dial command. The suffix can remain "|".
-
- After making the changes, you will need to do a SHUTDOWN (of Adept, not OS/2)!
-
- You will need to create a file called FAX1.CMD in your d:\Adept directory.
- (The "1" is for #Line 1. If you are using #Line 2, it would be FAX2.CMD.)
-
- FAX1.CMD
- ~~~~~~~~
- @d:\bgfax\bgfax2 /fco:4 d:\bgfax h%1 z
-
- "d:\bgfax" is the directory that faxes will be received into. "h%1" is how
- Adept passes the com handle to BGFAX/2. The "z" saves faxes in ZFAX-style
- format.
-
- If you have trouble receiving faxes, you may need to adjust the /fco:nn
- number, to maybe /fco:2 or /fco:8, depending upon your computer speed.
-
- USR's FAX/ARQ light WILL flash when waiting for calls with this setup!
