;                    Microsoft Mail Script File
;
;       Filename: credcard.mdm
;       Date    : March 21, 1990
;       Script  : Standard script file for Hayes-compatible modems
;                 modified to allow use of credit card dialing.
;
; This script file contains the standard modem setup strings used ; by the External, Transmit and Listen programs. There are five ; procedures defined in this script file for setting up the modem ; and for connecting to a remote External machine. ; ; The modem setup strings used here will be adequate for most ; people but there may be some changes required if you are dialing ; overseas and require a longer wait for Carrier Detect (S7 register) ; or if you wish to change the speaker volume. Note that if you used ; the -Innn option in version 1.0 or 2.0 that you will have to modify ; the S7 register and recompile this script file. ; ; Consult your modem manual for more information on setup options. ; ; Script procedures defined:
;       INITIALIZE
;       RESET
;       CALL
;       ANSWER
;       DISCONNECT
;
; Return codes for External, Transmit, Listen:
;       0  - OK
;       1  - CONNECT 300
;       2  - not defined
;       3  - NO CARRIER
;       4  - ERROR
;       5  - CONNECT 1200
;       6  - not defined
;       7  - BUSY
;       8  - NO ANSWER
;       9  - not defined
; 10 - CONNECT 2400 ; 11 - not defined ; 12 - CONNECT 9600 (high speed connection) ; ; ;********************************************************************
