If you have problems to enter right parameters to your terminal program
to install Smodem, then you can use Smodem without any install procedures.
First you have to shell to DOS from terminal program and if you have more
than 200 KB memory left, then you can enter command SMODEM /p:1 (assuming
that you are using COM1 port).
If your transfers aborts or hangs you can add parameter /C to your setup.
If this helps, then you have to study, what is wrong in your modem setup.
May be there is xon/xoff handshakes activated or you are using packet
switched network, which can not transfer data transparently.
If your connection disconnects when you press ^X then you have to to add
parameters /C and /F.
Some modems have disconnetion problems, if RTS handshake is used. Try
to add /n or /h parameter.
If you get carrier lost errors when carrier is not actually lost, then
you have to add /c parameter to prevent carrier detection.
If your 16550 fifo is not working properly, you have to add /1 parameter.
With Telix you need to add /0 parameter, if your computers hangs after
transfer.
If you are using DESQview and screen update is erroneous, then you have
to change your virtual screen setup or add parameter /V to Smodem.
