BBS Modem Initializer
By Steven R. Sterling
Archive inventory: SETMODEM.COM - Program file
MODEM.DAT - User defined init. string file
SETMODEM.PAS - Turbo Pascal 3.1 source
SETMODEM.DOC - This doc.
This program will allow you to send any Hayes command up to 8 characters
long (for example, ATS16=1O, the = counts as a character) to your Hayes/
compatible modem. It was written and timed for an 8mhz IBM AT using a
Hayes Smartmodem 1200, it should work satisfactorily on any compatible.
Although originally intended as a modem initializer for the Collie 1.20
BBS, it may be used as a convenient way to send modem commands without
starting up a terminal program. I use it to send the offhook command when
I am doing board maintenance.
COLLIE 1.20 users who have had no success in getting their board to
handle the modem properly (i.e. ANSWER THE PHONE!) will find this a useful
addition to their C.BAT file. SETMODEM should be inserted into the batch
file just before :LOOP, as you only need to run SETMODEM once.
Also before you use SETMODEM with Collie 1.20 you must modify COLLIE.COM
with a sector editor (Norton Utilities, PC-Tools etc.).
To modify COLLIE.COM....
1) MAKE A BACK-UP OF COLLIE.COM!
2) Load a sector editor and view relative sector 68.
3) Change the string 'ATZ' to 'ATH'.
If you have followed these instructions correctly you will have a
COLLIE.COM file that will not wipe out the initialization strings that
SETMODEM sends.
The only remaining task is to determine what initialization strings you
are going to need to send to the modem. Generally the ones that you had
in your MODMINIT.BBS are satisfactory. All you have to do is rename
MODMINIT.BBS to MODEM.DAT. The file structure is the same.
