Setting modem configuration options
You can set modem flow control to prevent an overflow of excess data in the modem buffer. You can set the line termination method and connection speed (data flow rate). Connection speed can be faster than your modem speed, if you enable flow control. You can enable Dial-Up to create a lock file when it makes a dial-up connection. You can also specify the number of seconds for Dial-Up to wait for the "connect" response after dialing to another modem.
