,1.0%%%!AThe fourth option on the Configuration Menu has to do with the ,T1.0%%%!Adefault settings and strings that TELIX will use for your modem ,T1.0%%%!Awhen it starts up. ,T1.0%%%!AThe default settings that TELIX was set up for when you begin to ,T1.0%%%!7use it was for most Hayes compatible modems using the ",T1.0%!AT,S1.0%!
",S1.0%%%!Acommand set. ,T1.0%%
%!AThose commands are: ,T1.0%% %!Modem Initialization String,T1.0%!&: This is the string that will be ,S1.0%%
%!Asent to the modem when TELIX first starts. Different modems may ,T1.0%%%!Aneed different strings. The default string is setup for Hayes ,T1.0%%%!Acompatible modems. It is: ,T1.0%%%!> ATZ^M~~AT S7=45 S0=0 V1 X1^M ,T1.0%%%!Dialing Prefix 1 through 3,T1.0%!': TELIX will send up to three differ- ,S1.0%%%!Aent dialing prefixes to the modem.

,1.0%%%!Abefore the modem actually dials the number. Three dialing pre- ,T1.0%%%!Afixes are allowed. You may choose which one you want to use in ,T1.0%%%!Athe dialing directory for each entry. ,T1.0%%%!AOne use for this is if your modem supports MNP, to define two ,T1.0%%%!Aprefixes which turn MNP support on and off, another is to disable,T1.0%%%!Athe call waiting feature that's become fairly popular. ,T1.0%%
%!Dialing Postfix,T1.0%!2: This string is the one TELIX sends to the modem,S1.0%%%!Aletting it know that the dialing string has ended. With most ,T1.0%% %!AHayes compatible modems this is just a Carriage Return character,,T1.0%%

",T1.0%!
M,S1.0%!".,S1.0%%%!Connect String,T1.0%!3: This string is the one the modem sends after ,S1.0%%%!getting a connection. e.g., ",T1.0%!CONNECT,S1.0%!".,S1.0%%%!No Connect String,T1.0%!0: When the modem fails to make a connection, it,S1.0%%%!Areturns a string.

CONNECTION,T1.0%!".,S1.0%%%!Hang-up String,T1.0%!3: This string is the one TELIX should send to the ,S1.0%%%!Amodem to make it hang up. The default string that works for Hayes,T1.0%%%!compatible modems is: ",T1.0%!~~~+++~~~ATH0^M,S1.0%!".,S1.0%% %!ABefore sending this string to the modem TELIX always tries to ,T1.0%%
%!Ahang-up the modem with a way that works with MOST modems. This is,T1.0%%%!;done by dropping (turning off) a special signal called the ,T1.0%!DTR ,S1.0%% %!
(,T1.0%!Data Terminal Ready,S1.0%!) line on the ,S1.0%!COM ,S1.0%!port the modem is connect- ,S1.0%%
%!Aed. If dropping the DTR makes the modem hang-up then the hang-up ,T1.0%%%!Astring is not sent to the modem. ,T1.0%%%!Auto Answer String,T1.0%!/: The string TELIX sends to the modem when ,S1.0%%%! entering ,T1.0%! Host Mode,S1.0%!/. The string allows the modem to automatically ,S1.0%%%!Apick up the phone when it rings, and initialize it in any other ,T1.0%%%!@way that might be necessary. ,T1.0%%%!9Press "0" to return to Menu, any other key to continue...,T1.0%%,81.0,=1%0* +a%(0,1.0%%%²%%O%%,1.0%p%%!

,1.0%%%!Dial Cancel String,T1.0%!/: This is the string TELIX sends to the modem ,S1.0%%%!Ato cancel the current dialing attempt. Most modems require just ,T1.0%%%! the Carriage Return character, ",T1.0%!^M,S1.0%!".,S1.0%%%! Dial Time,T1.0%!8: The amount of time to wait for a connection while ,S1.0%%%!Adialing. This should usually be set to an amount greater than the,T1.0%%%!Aamount of time the modem waits for the connection (usually regis-,T1.0%% %!ter ,T1.0%!S7,S1.0%!).,S1.0%%%! Redial Pause,T1.0%!5: The number of seconds to wait between attempts ,S1.0%% %!Awhile redialing. ,T1.0%%%!Auto Baud Detect,T1.0%!1: When this option is on and a number is dialed,,S1.0%%%!ATELIX will check the modem connect message for a baud rate indi- ,T1.0%%%!Acation. If the baud is different than was specified for the entry,T1.0%%%!Abeing dialed, the package switches to the new baud rate.

,1.0%%%!NOTE,T1.0%!=: This option must not be enabled when you have told the ,S1.0%%%!Amodem to maintain a constant or locked baud rate between the ,T1.0%%%!Acomputer and the modem, as is often done with high-speed, error ,T1.0%%%!Acorrecting modems, or modems supporting MNP (USR HST, Hayes V- ,T1.0%%%!ASeries, etc.). ,T1.0%%%!

,1.0%%%!FMany new features are being offered to telephone company customers. ,T1.0%%%!Among them is one named, ",T1.0%!callwaiting,S1.0%!!". It's a handy feature to have ,S1.0%%%!Fand is very popular. However, most telecommunication buffs don't have,T1.0%%%!Fa seperate data line, but share the family's voice line. ,T1.0%%%!
The tone ",T1.0%!beep,S1.0%!8" that alerts you that a call is waiting to be answered ,S1.0%%%!Fhas been known to have some rather strange affects if your computer ,T1.0%% %!Fhappens to be online. ,T1.0%%%!FThe obvious answer is to disable the callwaiting feature while the ,T1.0%% %!Fcomputer's online. In some areas this can be done at no cost to the ,T1.0%%
%!Fuser. In others, there is a fee for being able to disable this ,T1.0%%%!Ffeature. In any case, use TELIX's Dial Prefix #1. ,T1.0%%%!FThe Dial Prefix string that seems to work is: ,T1.0%%%!F ATDT ,T1.0%%%!9Press "0" to return to Menu, any other key to continue...,T1.0%%,81.0,=1*E 0,1.0%%%²%%O%%,1.0%p%%!

,1.0%%%!FIn some areas, it would look like this: ,T1.0%%%!F ATDT 70#, ,T1.0%%%!FIn others, it would be: ,T1.0%%%!F ATDT *70. ,T1.0%%
%!FThe code for your particular area may be different. ,T1.0%% %!FThe string is sent by TELIX to the modem. One thing that will help is,T1.0%%
%!0to realize that no modem understands the tilde (,T1.0%!
~,S1.0%!). It is used to ,S1.0%%%!)pause the communications program. Thus, ,T1.0%! ATDT 70*~~~ ,S1.0%!will not pause ,S1.0%%%!Fthe modem, but instead will confuse it as it does not understand what ,T1.0%%%!
",T1.0%!~~~" means.,S1.0%%%! A tilde (,T1.0%!
~,S1.0%!<) pauses TELIX for two seconds, not the modem! To pause the,S1.0%%%!!modem, you have to use a comma (",T1.0%!
,,S1.0%!%"). A comma pauses the modem for two,S1.0%%%!Gseconds. That's long enough to get the second dial tone in most cases.,T1.0%%%!9Press "0" to return to Menu, any other key to continue...,T1.0%%,81.0,=1*a%0,1.0,1.&B
