- Setup hints for using BGFAX, Class 2 faxmodems, with VBBS. 09-12-96
- B.J. Guillot, with help from WD Anderson bgfax@blkbox.com
- FidoNet 1:106/400 http://www.blkbox.com/~bgfax/

-
- Note that, generally, fax (AT+F) commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.
- This file details the setup for Class 2 faxmodems (Supra, Zoom, PPI,
- other Rockwell-based modems). This file is NOT for US Robotics modems.
- See the VBBS web site for more information.
-
- Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ...
-
- Channel 1
-
- 1) Serial Port: COM2 [whatever necessary]
- 2) Base Address (Hex): 2F8 [whatever necessary]
- 3) IRQ (Hex): 3 [whatever necessary]
-
- 4) Baud Rate: 38400 [whatever necessary]
- 5) Locked Baud Rate: Yes
- 6) CTS/RTS Handshake: Yes (Normal)
- 7) Minimum Baud Rate: 1200
-
- 8) Init String1: ATH0Z
- 9) Init String2: AT+FCR=1;+FLID="+1 713 555 1212"
- A) Init String3: AT+FAA=1;+FDCC=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0
- B) Off-Hook String: ATH1
- C) Answer String: ATA
- D) Dial String: AT+FCLASS=0;DT
-
- Z) Modem String Help
-
- [Esc] to EXIT
-
- Rockwell-based modems generally exit with a string of "FAX" (Supra, Zoom)
- and sometimes only a "+FCON" (PPI).
-
- FAX.BAT
- ~~~~~~~
- C:\BGFAX\BGFAX.EXE /FAX C:\BGFAX %2 Z
-
- The %2 variable is the com port, as passed by VBBS. The "Z" stands for
- ZFAX style file format.
-
- The /FAX switch is useful for most Class 2 modems that product a "FAX"
- result code. If you have a PPI modem, for example, it will instead
- produce a "+FCON" result, and a different BGFAX command switch will be
- necessary, instead of /FAX, perhaps /FAST:4, /FAST:0, or even /FAST:8 (only
- trial and error will let you know.)
