	Using a Creative Labs Game Blaster Pad
You must have the "ANALOG/DIGITAL" switch set to DIGITAL to use the pad.

	Using the Creative Labs 3D Blaster
If you are experiencing problems, contact Creative Labs for updated
drivers, and/or game patches.

	Using a Diamond Edge Card
If you are experiencing problems, you might try changing the PCI bus interrupt,
which is used by the card.  If this fails to solve the problem, contact
Diamond for updated drivers, and/or game patches.

	Notes on Network Play        
Battle Arena Toshinden is compatible with IPX and NetBios networks. You can
play a two player network game using the same copy of Battle Arena Toshinden. 
The player without the CD will only be able to join a game.

	Notes on Modem Play
If the modems connect, but you are unable to play the game, note the connect
speed reported as CONNECT XXXXX (where XXXXX is the speed reported) when the
modems connect, and set the baud rate to that speed.
If you are experiencing problems playing the game (such as the game stops and
you see the message CONNECTION TIMEOUT), select an INIT string in the SETUP
program to enable RTS/CTS handshaking.  Consult your modem manual or modem
manufacturer to obtain the proper INIT string values to enable RTS/CTS.
To optimize modem performance, select an INIT string to disable error
correction and data compression.  Consult your modem manual or modem
manufacturer to obtain the proper INIT string values to disable error
correction and data compression.

	GENERAL INIT STRING

The following is a general modem initialization string which disables error
correction and data compression on most modems. Only use this string if you
are having difficulties connecting using ATZ, and only if you could not find
your specific modem in the list below. Your modem manual also would have
the correct initialization commands to disable error correction and data
compression. This should be entered in the connection setup.

	SPECIFIC MODEM BRAND INIT STRING

Here is a list of manufacturer specific initialization strings which may help
if you are having trouble connecting using ATZ. These initialization string
disable error correction and data compression and should be entered in the 
connection setup.

	COMMON MODEM COMMANDS

Here are the most common settings and what they do:

&F    - This fetches the factory default in most modems.  Always a
	good starting point.  Modems with multiple factory settings
	may require a qualifier (i.e. &F0)

S46=0 - This register setting disables compression on many v.32 and v.42
	modems.  You might also try S46=136 or %C0.

&K0   - Disable flow control between the modem (DCE) and your PC (DTE).
	This was one of the most common problems -- You should look
	at flow control options more closely if you connect and just hang
	WITHOUT the screen clearing and displaying the blue banner.  Check
	your modem documentation carefully.  The command(s) to manipulate
	flow control varies quite a bit on various modems.  The commands
	\G and \G0 were also quite common.

&Q0   - Places the modem in DIRECT mode.  This is by far the best method
	for pumping data down those wires!  At least to start with, stay 
	away from the error correcting and speed buffering configurations.  
	The command \N1 is the next most common command to set the modem 
	in direct mode. 

&D2   - DTR handling.  DTR is the signal (voltage) on the serial connector
	on your PC that says "I'm here".  This control helps with initially
	talking to the modem and disconnecting.  The &D2 in tells the modem
	how to handle the loss of the DTR signal from the PC.  In this case,
	the modem will go into COMMAND MODE from DATA MODE (if not already
	there) and send the normal verbose response (i.e. "OK").  Many modems
	also support a neat option (&D3) which recalls the prior 
	configuration.

&W    - Write the configuration to the modem's memory.  This is optional
	but I always like to do this -- just like I always like to use
	the factory reset (&F) at the beginning.  

	IMPORTANT:  When you use the &W you permanently change your modem
		    modem settings.  If your other communication programs
		    do not set your modem each time, you may have to 
		    configure your modem for those other programs again.


S37=F8  - Another very common problem is when 14.4 modems report a connect
	  of CONNECT 14400. Try to force the modem to 9600 bps.  
	  F8 is hexadecimal notation.  Your modem documentation may 
	  describe the settings in decimal or in binary notation.  
	  For example:

	  F8        - hexadecimal
	  248       - decimal
	  11111000  - binary

	  The binary notation is the most clear when interpreting the 
	  effect to bit registers.  Once you set your bits correctly,
	  you can use the calculator in Windows 3.1 to binary/hex/decimal
	  conversions (when in the scientific mode).
	  
	  Keep in mind the place holders and the least to most significant
	  bits!  It's easy to work in the wrong direction when dealing
	  with bit registers.  

	  If binary notation is foreign to you, call your modem vendor
	  and describe what you need.  They will be able to give you the
	  proper code.

	  Another common speed setting is %B.  Some modems take a value, 
	  i.e. %B4 while others take the speed i.e. %B9600


Other areas which helped depending on the modem (or modem connected to)
was with flow control and slave speed.  Your modem may or may not respond
or allow some of these settings.  (Some modems simply locked up).

\J0     -   Slave the DTE (PC) to DCE (modem) speed.  \J is sometimes used
	    (no 0 qualifier required or used).

&R1     -   Force Ready-To-Send and/or Clear-To-Send high.  On a couple of
	    if your modem is using EIA leads for flow control, this leaves
	    the pipe wide open.

\K5     -   Break control.
