6.2 Advanced configuration

     Many modems have several different connection modes and options.
     The US Robotics HST Dual Standard, HST/DS hereafter, for example
     can be configured between several different connect modes,
     including CCITT V.32, CCITT V.32bis, and the proprietary HST
     protocol.

     Since the nodelist can list a system's hardware (modem)
     capabilities, the Mailer (FD) can automatically reconfigure your
     modem depending on what type of hardware the remote system (to be
     called) is using. This automatic reconfiguration feature can also
     be used to disable or enabled certain options for individual
     systems (ie. not based on a system's capabilities) because of
     problems with to noisy lines, long satellite delays, etc.

     This is all configured in the MODEM MANAGER under the Manager
     pull-down menu in FDSETUP. The actual data is stored in a file
     called MODEM.FD in the SYSTEM directory.
