Setup hints for using BGFAX with FD 2.02/NC 09-14-93
B.J. Guillot
FidoNet 106/400 InterNet: st1r8@jetson.uh.edu
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep in mind that fax commands cannot be stored in NVRAM.
Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ...
[FDSETUP] Modem -> Command Strings
Init-1 ... atz|
Init-2 ... at+fcr=1;+fdcc=1,5,0,2,0,0,0,0|
Init-3 ... at+flid="713 555 1212"|
Notice that everything is in LOWERCASE letters. This is done so that FD
does not mistake an initialization string as a fax connect. (You really
only need capital F's in lowercase, but I think it looks better when
everything is done in lowercase.)
+fcr=1 enables fax receiption
+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 fax
+fdcc=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0 enable high resolution, 9600 fax
Do not attempt to give a 9600 maximum speed send/receive fax modem the 1,5
string as it will cause unpredicable results.
[FDSETUP] Modem -> Answer control
Manual answer Yes
Force answer ... at+faa=1;a|
The "at+faa=1;a" causes the modem to answer adaptively, i.e., to
automatically determine whether the incoming call is fax or data and return
the response to the modem.
[FDSETUP] Mailer -> Errorlevels
1275 ... 255
==========================================================================
If you are using a modem such as a Supra that returns a "FAX" response
proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #1 ) ...
[FDSETUP] Modem -> Messages
1275 ... F (yes, a SINGLE UPPERCASE letter F without pipes)
[FDSETUP] Mailer -> External mail
String Level
1 X<numeric alt-13> 255
The <numeric alt-13> is a musical note symbol that is formed by holding
down the <ALT> key, punching <1>, then <3> on the *numeric keypad* and then
releasing the <ALT> key.
The errorlevel defined is the same as that in the Mailer -> Errorlevels.
Notice that "F" and "X" make up the first and last part of "FAX".
FDRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ...
@echo off
c:
cd\fd
fd
if errorlevel 255 bgfax /fax c:\bgfax 1 z
if errorlevel 103 maint.bat
if errorlevel 102 toss.bat
if errorlevel 101 local.bat
if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat
==========================================================================
If you are using a modem such as a PPI FXMT that returns a "+FCON" response
proceed with the following instructions ( METHOD #2 ) ...
[FDSETUP] Modem -> Messages
1275 ... +FC (yes, in upper case)
[FDSETUP] Mailer -> External mail
String Level
1 N<numeric alt-13> 255
The <numeric alt-13> is a musical note symbol that is formed by holding
down the <ALT> key, punching <1>, then <3> on the *numeric keypad* and then
releasing the <ALT> key.
The errorlevel defined is the same as that in the Mailer -> Errorlevels.
Notice that "+FC" and "N" make up the first and last part of "+FCON".
FDRUN.BAT should contain something similar to ...
@echo off
c:
cd\fd
fd
if errorlevel 255 bgfax /fcon c:\bgfax 1 z
if errorlevel 103 maint.bat
if errorlevel 102 toss.bat
if errorlevel 101 local.bat
if errorlevel 100 dobbs.bat
If BGFAX fails to work properly, try using this line instead:
if errorlevel 255 bgfax /fast c:\bgfax 1 z
