;                    Microsoft Mail Script File
;
;       Filename: ibm5853.mdm
;       Date    : March 21, 1990
;       Script  : Standard script file for IBM 2400 bps modems
;
; This modem has a set of 8 switches on the rear panel. These ; switches should be set as follows: ;
;                      1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8
;                 ON   X  X  X  X     X  X  X
;                 OFF              X
;
;
; 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

; Special Notes Regarding the IBM 5853 Modem: ; ------------------------------------------- ; ; While the line is ringing (you can here it ring), this modem will ; not accept any modem commands, including "ATA", the command ; required to answer the phone. Commands can be issued to the modem ; only when the modem stops ringing completely, or when it is in ; between rings. ; ; "ATZ" cannot be issued safely between line rings, because this ; command would cause this modem to go off-hook and goes into data ; mode, and no further; modem commands are accepted until DTR is ; dropped, or 50 seconds later. ( The "ATZ" command would not reset ; the modem as well when the modem goes off-hook this way. The ; sequence "+++" would not bring the modem back to AT command mode ; either. )
