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.
