Enclosed you will find a number of different text files. You may print these
files if you wish, though I believe you will find the most important commands
and information within the printed manual that comes with your CompuCom modem.
Please note: Roms after 4/1/91 no longer accept or use the init +F for fax
send disable. If you have this in your modem init string, and your rom or
modem is 2.61 or installed after 4/1/91, please remove this init.
Modem.doc
Modem.doc includes more detailed information about the modem settings,
including what the default settings are, and what these settings do. If for
example you wished to have more information about a setting such as how
the modem reacts to DTR (Data Terminal Ready), you could consult this
document for more information.
Result_C.ode
This file includes the numeric result codes that the modem returns IF
you have V0 in your modem initialization string. Certain Bulletin
boards require numeric result codes (Such as Wildcat!) in their setup.
This document is useful for this purpose, but is generally not needed
for setting up most com programs or bbs's. The default setting for
result codes is verbal, which is fine for most com programs or bbs's.
Speedbbs.txt
This file includes a listing of Speemodem equipped bbs's. This file
is constantly being updated, and the most recent version is always
available on the CompuCom Support bbs at 408-738-4990, or the So.
California System (The General_CompuCom) at 619-281-2622. If you
wish to add or change a listing, please leave a comment to sysop
on the CompuCom Support bbs. Please encourage your sysop
(or yourself, if you are a sysop), to obtain the various echo's
or conferences relating to the CompuCom modems. These include Fido
Net (SPEEDMODEM), RelayNet (RIME) (SPEEMODEM #107), and Network
(COMPUCOM_SPEEDMODEM). These message conferences are frequented
by many CompuCom Sysops and users, and are very helpful for obtaining
news and other information about your CompuCom modem.
Mnp.doc
Mnp, or Microcom Networking Protocol, is a feature included in your Compucom
modem. Mnp2 through Mnp4 are error correcting protocols built into the modem,
which enable you to connect with other Mnp equipped modems with hardware
error correction. In doing this, you can use file transfer protocols such
as Ymodem -G (batch), 1K-Xmodem -G, Zmodem, and various other protocols
to obtain faster transfers. When you have an Mnp connection, your modem will
do the error correction itself, thereby allowing you to use these fast
protocols to their best efficiency. In order to take full advantage of Mnp
error correction, you need to use the recommended settings in the printed
manual (IE: AT&F2*H2&D2 etc etc etc.), Lock (Set) your com program or
bulletin board com port speed at 19,200 baud, Lock (Set) your dialing
directory entries to 19,200 baud, and turn on Hardware flow control (IE:
CTS/RTS Enabled, Xon-Xoff Disabled). This will allow your modem to communicate
faster with the other Mnp modem then a regular 2400 baud modem! Mnp.doc
includes descriptions of the Mnp commands in detail, though the recommended
settings in the printed manual have proven to be very effective in most any
situation. Mnp5 is a Data Compression protocol, which is very useful in
transfering uncompressed files between Mnp5 equipped modems. If you are
transfering compressed (.ZIP, .ARC, .LZH, .ARJ, .ZOO, Etc) files, you will
probably wish to disable Mnp5 with the %C0 command in your setup string.
Mnp5 does not help, and actually can slow down the transfer of compressed
files.
Hayescmd.doc
This file includes a brief description of the Standard Hayes Command sets,
including what the "X" registers, "S" registers, and other commands actually
are for. The printed manual includes recommended settings, though your com
program or bbs may require specialized commands. This document would be useful
in the event you need to change any of the default settings. The Hayes command
set is consistant between most modems today, though many many modems use
different default settings. These settings are set as soon as you turn on
your computer, and may require modification to suit your needs. When you
turn on your CompuCom modem, it is setup in Non-Mnp, Standard 2400 mode.
You will probably want to consult the printed manual to change the settings
to enable Mnp and High Speed Modes.
Speed_up.asc
This is the product brochure file. You may wish to post this file
on yours or other bbs's. It includes certain technical information
about the modem, including specifications.
*.TXT, CompuCom.mdm, Qmodem.mdf, etc..
Included are some sample setups for various com and bbs programs. Also
included are two modem configuration files. Qmodem.mdf is for Qmodem
Quick config, version 42+, CompuCom.mdm is for Mustang Software's Wildcat!
2.xx. The sample setup files end in .TXT, and more are being added all
the time. Please call The CompuCom Support Bbs at 408-738-4990, or
The General CompuCom BBS at 619-281-2622 for Updated Files. You may download
from either bbs on your first call.
Sysopfrm.txt
This is the Sysop Application form. If you are a sysop, and wish to request
the Sysop discount special for the Speedmodem Combo, Please fill out and
return this file to CompuCom.
Other Information..
Please note the following helpful tips and information...
If you have other serial I/O devices in your computer (such as other
modems, serial port cards, scanner interfaces, VGA cards that use IRQ's,
Network cards, etc), You will have to make sure that these devices do
not "Conflict" with the Com Port you wish to use for your Speedmodem.
As it comes out of the box, Dos recognizes 4 com ports (1-4). You will
need to check your other devices to see which Com Port addresses or IRQ's
they use, to make sure they are different. This is true with most any
High Speed Modem, and can cause many problems at any speed!
When calling another CompuCom Speedmodem or Champ Modem, you may use
AT*H1 in your setup or dial string to increase throughput. This will
increase your throughput up to 10% when using Zmodem, but is *Not*
recommended when receiving calls (BBS's), or when you have noisy lines.
Some BBS's Require Fossil Drivers. The Speedmodem and Champ have been
tested with BNU, X00, FDCD, OpusCom And Others. Please make sure you
lock the port at 19,200, and use the proper IRQ and Address (If Req'd).
If you are having problems with your Speedmodem or Champ, Please type
ATI3 from any Com Program and write down your Version Number. When
you call Customer Support, you should have this version number, the
approximate date you bought your modem, The type of bbs or com program
that you are having problems with, along with the setups you are using.
This will speed up the process of helping you a lot! Most of the
difficulties experienced involve Setup Strings and/or Com Port Conflicts,
and are remedied over the telephone quickly! Most of the problems seem
to be involving the proper setups for Hardware Flow control, and
Initialization strings.
