Modem properties
Connection Preferences
======================
It is recommended that connection settings for a modem be changed in individual applications such as HyperTerminal instead of through the 'Modem' option in Control Panel.
Use Tone Dialing
================
Clear the check box if the phone being used does not support touch tone.
Wait for Dial
=============
Clear the check box if the modem does not detect a dial tone and the modem was obtained from a foreign country.
Cancel the Call
===============
Adjust the number of seconds to wait for a call to go through before disconnecting.
ADVANCED PROPERTIES
Use Error Control
=============
This is a feature of most newer modems. Select the 'Use Error Control' check box to increase file transfer speed by eliminating errors caused by phone line disturbances. However, if the modem has difficulty connecting, clear the check box.
Required To Connect
===============
Select the check box only if the modem must connect to another modem if that modem uses error control.
Compress Data
===========
Select the check box to increase transmission speed by compressing data.
NOTE: Enabling this feature may cause difficulties in connecting. It is not advisable to use this option when data has already been compressed by another application.
Use Cellular Protocol
===============
Select the check box to reduce errors over cellular connections.
Use Flow Control
============
Select the check box to avoid loss of data. Select the RTS/CTS radio button if the modem cable has RTS and CTS wires (refer to the modem documentation).
Low-Speed Modulation Settings
=======================
Select from the drop-down list box to solve international calling difficulties.
Windows 95 provides three possible settings:
- Bell 103 and 212A, A (for calls in the United States)
- ITU-TV V.21 and V.22 (for international calls)
- ITU-TV V.23 (for French Minitel calls)
Record a Log File
=============
Select the check box to enable recording of modem commands and responses in the MODEMLOT.TXT file. This file may be used for troubleshooting.
Extra Settings
==========
Type any extra modem commands that Windows 95 must use in the initialization sequence. Do not include the 'AT' prefix in this box.
