     For Zoom/modems (even hi-speed modems) we recommend you pick the HAYES

Smartmodem 2400 initialization string recommended by the BBS documentation.

     If the modem is a Turbo or 'white' V42bis/2400 add S36=7 to the  Hayes

string.  If it is a Zoom V-series  modem, to get true  modem-modem  CONNECT

speed  add S95=1, or S95=3 if the BBS software supports /ARQ  (which  tells

the software if you get a V42(bis) connection).  Lock modem-computer  (DTE)

data  rate. (38,400 for V32bis, 19200 for V32, 9600 for  2400-V42bis,  2400

unlocked for all other Zoom/modems). Hardware CTS/RTS flow=ON (XON/XOFF for

plain 2400). In most instances this works.

     If the software wants Modem to answer then S0=1. If you have a  choice

of  modem  or software to answer, try letting the  software  answer  (S0=0)

before trying modem answer.

     I  do  suggest starting the string AT&F and then put  the  recommended

Hayes string, and whatever else you are using.

      Here is a suggested string for Wildcat    AT&C&C1&D2E0M0X1S95=3

extracting file, with over 200 files with modem/faxing/comport help, up for

your users. You can get ZOOMHINT.EXE from  my ZOOM BBS, NITES and  Weekends

at 617-451-5284.
