NORING DOC
I bought a used Kaypro 10 with an internal 1200 baud Datasolvers modem.
I found that when the computer was on, its high pitched tone came on
whenever I answered the phone as long as the computer was on.
I started to look for a way to shut off auto-answer on the modem.
I finally was led to a one record public domain program called
Noanswer.com. When run it shuts off the auto-answer. However,
with an internal modem, it is necessary to first initialize it before
running Noanswer.com. I wanted to be able to do this so that I could
run these programs in a submit files (Startzcm in this case) and not
have to worry about turning off the auto-answer any more. Imp and Mex
won't work in a submit file (to the best of my knowledge). After
rummaging around in Fatcat, I found Setmdm.com, which will. It
requires a command line that includes baud, data bits, parity and
stop bits. Finally, I created a submit file called Noring.com, which
first runs Setmdm and then runs Noanswer. The command line looks
like this:
SETMDM 1200,8,NO,1
NOANSWER
The submit file was created using Newbatch.com. (Makbatch.come works
just as well) If you are running some form of ZCPR, you will
prefer to create Noring.com using Salias. Then just insert it in
your startup file and one more problem will be solved.
