 Fields
 

Width

Sets the virtual terminal width.  Most PC type BBSs will require 80 because
they might wrap lines.  If you are connecting to a mini or mainframe you can
use 132 to view wide reports, etc.

Length

Sets the virtual terminal width.  This will allow you to view full page
reports, 80 X 50 ANSI screens, etc.  Using large lenghts of 500+ may
effect terminal performance depending on PC and modem connect rate.

Draw

Sets maximum character buffering before drawing the terminal window.  All in
coming characters are stored in the virtual buffer until the com buffer is
empty or the Draw value is reached.  Used to increase terminal performance
using 14.4, 28.8 modems or slower type PCs.

Input

Sets com input buffer size.

Output

Sets com output buffer size.

CTS wait

Seconds to wait for CTS when opening terminal window.  This will make sure
the modem can start accepting commands and data.

Dial prefix

Use your modem's dial string.  Most modems will use ATDT for tone and ATDP
for pulse dialing.  Also include any PBX type switching such as ATDT 9, to
dial 9 and wait before dialing number.

Wait

Seconds to wait for modem response after dialing.

Pause

Seconds to pause between redials.

Redial

Number of time to redial before failing.

Can chr

Character code for used to hang up (cancel character) during dial phase.

Re wait

Seconds to wait for response to non-dial commands.

DTR low

Seconds to hold DTR low during hang up.

 Modem responses
 

The following is a list of responses CyberTerm uses when waiting for
command responses:

 OK       OK
