6 Modems and FOSSIL drivers

 FrontDoor works with several modems, including US Robotics HST and
 HST/DS, Telebit's Trailblazer, ANC, Everex and Hayes. The general
 rule is that the modem must be able to send alphanumeric result
 strings. For most modems, the basic configuration is all that is
 required. For high speed modems such as the HST, a few extra settings
 are necessary.

 To utilize your modem in the most efficient way, it must be properly
 configured for use with FrontDoor. Most modems are incorrectly
 configured for use with FrontDoor when they leave their factory.

 FrontDoor require that your modem can return verbal result codes,
 such as "CONNECT 2400" and "NO CARRIER". In addition, if you want
 FrontDoor to answer the telephone on inbound calls, the modem must be
 able to return a verbal code indicating a ring signal, such as
 "RING". The modem must not have CD (carrier detect) forced. It should
 support disconnecting by lowering DTR (data terminal ready), but it
 is not necessary. DTR must not be forced.

 For high speed modem users, it is usually recommended that you lock
 the DTE (computer<>modem) speed to the highest possible baud rate;
 which is usually 19.2 or 38.4 KBPS.

 The current version of FrontDoor does not support manually operated
 modems with fixed speeds since most of them do not send any type of
 messages to the terminal (program). This is expected to be
 implemented in future versions.
