- I have a Zoom VFX V.32bis fax modem. I'm trying to set up a simple BBS so my
- pals can phone me in the middle of the night, up and download files and leave
- messages. I've "auditioned" about half a dozen BBS programs, all of which have
- different modem initialization strings (usually of the "default" variety) and a
- lot of other mumbo-jumbo which makes me feel like I'm swimming in an alphabet
- soup of Hayes commands. I'm just wondering, is there any kind of all-purpose
- initialization string which I could use with this modem? I'm having some really
- weird problems as a result of not doing things correctly. For example, I set
- the top speed in the BBS program at 2400, locked this as the top speed, and a
- friend who has exactly the same modem phoned up, having set his top speed also
- at 2400. Both our 14.4K and V32 lights came on! Any assistance or advice would
- be really appreciated.
