                      6.2.1 The Modem Manager

         The entries are processed as defined, ie. in sequential
         order. It may be important in which order these options are
         configured and triggered, the modem manager therefore allows
         you to re-arrange individual entries by using the "F2-Move"
         option.

         "String to match" is either a nodelist flag, such as HST, or
         a complete network address, such as 2:270/17, that the Mailer
         (FD) should match in order to send the specified string.

         "String to send" is the string that will be transmitted to
         the modem when a match is made.

         The Mailer (FD) will ignore entries with INACTIVE status.


         6.2.2 An example, the HST/DS

         Most HST/DS owners will have the following three lines at the
         beginning of their MODEM MANAGER list:

                 V32                     ATB0|
                 HST                     ATB1|
                 V32B                    ATB0|

         The first line, V32, will transmit "ATB0" followed by a
         carriage return (ASCII 13) to the modem if the system to be
         dialed has V32 in its nodelist flags. This is to enable the
         HST/DS' CCITT V.32 handshake.

         The second line, HST, will transmit "ATB1" (followed by a
         carriage return) to the modem if the system to be dialed has
         HST in its nodelist flags. This is to tell the modem that we
         prefer the HST protocol. In the case of a system with both
         the V32 and the HST flag, we want the HST flag, because that
         protocol is faster than the CCITT V.32 protocol.

         The third line, V32B, will transmit "ATB0" to the modem if
         the system to be dialed has V32B in its nodelist flags. This
         it to tell the modem that we prefer the CCITT V.32bis
         protocol. In the case of a system with both the V32B and the
         HST flag, we want the V32B flag, because it is easier to get
         a good modem handshake over noisy phone lines and because
         CCITT V.32bis is 14.4 KBPS in both directions (full-duplex).

         Let us assume our modem has a problem, with incorrect busy
         and voice signal detection, when it encounters a modem that
         answers using PEP (Telebit Trailblazer is such a modem), we
         would then want to disable our modem's capability to detect a
         busy signal and/or a voice signal. We would then add:

                 PEP                     ATX2|

         to the MODEM MANAGER.
