20.022 I want to use a fax modem with my IIGS. Is this possible? I tried all kinds of choices from the install menu of Proterm 3.1. Is there a certain string required?
Yes. Only difference between a fax modem and a "regular" one is the fax
instruction set. I have a 28.8 fax modem on my GS.
Most likely, you have to use a "CTS/RTS" parms setting in the Install, and
an init string that handles things correctly. The book for my 28.8 ultrageneric
suggested AT&F [use default settings] but that doesn't do the job. So the
string I am using to trip all the triggers is:
ATX3\Q3
Before that, I was using something that worked except at 2400:
ATX4&M0Y0\N2

Just pointing out, the INIT string is not a function of the comm program,
it is a command to the modem itself, so any good comms package should be able
to send any sort of init string to the modem.
ATZ is the standard Hayes command to 'RESET MODEM TO DEFAULT' settings, and
must be on it's own line, hence the <return> character is required. After that,
most modems will also respond to standard Hayes command set commands, but the
individual modem in use will usually have an extra set of commands provided by
that modem's manufacturer, to support any unique features.
If you don't have docs for your modem, try searching the web site of the
manufacturer.
