- What do you mean by 'sits there with a blank screen'? If it sits there
- with the dialing message box and claims that it is still dialing, even
- if the connection is made, you have to make some additions to your
- configuration file (either te2.ini or modems.inc if this is included).
-
- Unlike most other comm programs, TE/2 apparently does not use the carrier
- detect signal to determine if a connection is made. Instead it looks at
- the output from the modem, and tries to match it against a set of strings
- that you have to specify in your configuration file. The strings should
- be of the form : Connect "modem response string",nnnn. The modem
- response string is usually of the form "Connect nnnn" where nnnn is the
- baudrate it has connected with, or it is only "Connect". Here is an
- extract from my configuration file :
- Connect CONNECT^M,19200
- Connect CONNECT_1200,1200
- Connect CONNECT_2400,2400
- Connect CONNECT_9600,9600
- Connect CONNECT_14400,19200
- (Notice that you should use underscore to indicate a space in the modems
- connect string.)
-
- A quick way to find out if this is your problem, is to try dialing from
- the terminal screen instead of using the dialing directory. i.e just
- type ATDTnnnnnnn, where nnnnnnn is the phone no., from the terminal
- screen. If you are able to make a connection with this method while
- unable to connect using the dialing directory, this is your problem.
-
- Hope this helps !
