- Setup hints for using Class 2 modems, BGFAX and Intermail 2.29c 07-14-95
- B.J. Guillot
- FidoNet 1:106/400 InterNet: bjg90783@jetson.uh.edu
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Keep in mind that fax commands cannot be stored in NVRAM.
-
- Here is the relevant information from IMSETUP ...
-
- [IMSETUP] Modem -> Advanced Setup -> 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"|
-
- [IMSETUP] Modem -> Advanced Setup -> Answer Control
- Manual answer Yes
- Force answer ATA|
-
- NOTE: If you are using a version of IM prior to IM 2.29, the 'force answer'
- field will not have enough room for "AT+FAA=1;A". On many modems, the
- semicolon on the answer string is option, so "AT+FAA=1A" is okay.
-
- +fcr=1 enables fax receiption
- +faa=1 enables adaptive answering
- +flid="713 555 1212" sets your FAX ID, up to 20 characters
-
- +fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0 enable high resolution, 14400, 1D compression
- +fdcc=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 enable high resolution, 9600, 1D compression
- +fdcc=1,5,0,2,1,0,0,0 enable high res, 14400, 1D and 2D compression
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [IMSETUP] Modem -> Advanced Setup -> Connect Strings
-
- You will see a list of 14 or so preconfigured connect strings, press
- <INSERT> to add one. If your modem returns "FAX" on a fax call, like the
- Supra, use the first string provided. If your modem returns "+FCON" on a
- fax call, like the PPI FXMT, use the second string.
-
- Connect Message Speed EC BBSexit Terminate
-
- FAX 19200 N 0 255
- +FCON 19200 N 0 255
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Notice that "BBSexit" is equal to ZERO. "Terminate" instructs IM to exit
- IMMEDIATELY as it receives the fax response. ("BBSexit" tells the user
- to press <Esc>, and obviously, a fax machine cannot do that.)
-
- IMRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ...
-
- @echo off
- c:
- cd\im
- im
- 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 /fax c:\bgfax 1 z
- imrun.bat
- :end
-
- The /fax means your modem reports "FAX". If it reports "+FCON" use one of
- these two lines.
-
- bgfax /fast:4 c:\bgfax 1 z
- or
- bgfax /fcon c:\bgfax 1 z
-
- You will have to experiment to determine which is correct. See BGFAX.DOC
- for a detailed description of the differences between /FAX, /FAST, /FCON.
