- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- FD 2.20/ML users must set: [FDSETUP] Modem -> Fax -> Internal = "NO".
-
- If you need hints for FrontDoor and Class 2.0, see "FD-USR.TXT".
- If you need hints for FrontDoor and ZyXEL, see "FD-ZYXEL.TXT".
- If you need hints for FrontDoor and Class 1, see "FD-HAYES.TXT".
-
- Please make sure the following two items are true before proceeding...
- (1) Your modem is NOT set to "Auto Answer" mode (REGISTER S0 MUST EQUAL 0)
- (2) You have already put all relevant DATA commands for the BBS into NVRAM
-
- Note that, generally, fax (AT+F) commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.
-
- Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ...
-
- [FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Command Strings
- Init-1 ... ATZ|
- Init-2 ... AT+FCR=1;+FDCC=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0|
- Init-3 ... AT+FAA=1;+FLID="713 555 1212"|
-
- ; atz automatically recalls data commands in NVRAM
- ; +fcr=1 enables fax receiption
- ; +flid="713 555 1212" sets FAX ID, up to 20 characters, QUOTES REQUIRED
- ;
- ; +fdcc=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 allow high res, 9600, 1D compression [recommended]
- ; +fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 enable high resolution, 14400, 1D compression

- ==========================================================================
-
- If you are using a modem that returns a "FAX" response ... [METHOD #1]
- (Modems such as the Supra and Zoom).
-
- [FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Messages
- Fax ... CONNECT FAX <-- THIS IS WRONG
- Fax ... FAX <-- RIGHT, GOOD, OKAY
-

-
- @echo off
- c:
- cd\fd
- fd
- if errorlevel 255 goto fax
- if errorlevel 103 maint.bat
- if errorlevel 102 toss.bat
- if errorlevel 101 local.bat
- if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat

- :fax
- rem ---1 is for com1 and z is for zfax format
- bgfax /fax c:\bgfax 1 z
- fdrun.bat
- :end
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- If you are using a modem that returns a "+FCON" response ... [METHOD #2]
- (Modems such as the PPI, GVC, and Intel).
-
- [FDSETUP] Modem -> Default Settings -> Messages
- Fax ... +FCON <-- RIGHT
- Fax ... CONNECT +FCON <-- THIS IS *WRONG*
-
- FDRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ...
-
- @echo off
- c:
- cd\fd
- fd
- if errorlevel 255 goto fax
- if errorlevel 103 maint.bat
- if errorlevel 102 toss.bat
- if errorlevel 101 local.bat
- if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat
- goto end
- :fax
- rem ---1 is for com1 and z is for zfax format
- bgfax /fast:4 c:\bgfax 1 z
- rem ---if /fast:4 gives you trouble, try using /fcon
- fdrun.bat
- :end
-
