INSTALLATION HINTS for the 14.4Kbps BOCAMODEM

General Hints

Please read all manuals sent with your BOCAMODEM before
installation.

Your BOCAMODEM has been initialized during factory final test for
optimum performance with the included Quick Link II fax software.
If, however, you are using another communications software package,
please use the following initialization (INIT) string:

AT&F~~E1X4&C1&D2%E1

Quick Link II receives faxes in background mode.

Some bulletin boards and information services have problems with
data compression. If so, add %CO to the INIT string.

If you experience difficulties sending or receiving faxes, please
disable all TSR (terminate and stay resident) programs. A TSR
program is a program which remains in memory after it loads.

The easiest way to test the fax send/receive function by disabling
the TSRs is to boot your computer with a plain DOS boot disk (no
config.sys or autoexec.bat files on the boot disk). Change to the
directory containing your FAX software. Load the software and send
a fax.  

If you experience a data connection difficulty with a U.S. Robotics
HST Dual Standard Modem on a BBS, the following should allow you to
connect. Set modem software to DTE speed of 9600. In command mode,
enter the following:


AT-Command       Description
  
ATN0             Follow the S37 register

ATS37=0          Force modem to follow the DTE speed
                 after the next command.
