Press ALT S to get the Setup Menu. Select 1, Modem setup, from this menu.
Choice 1, Modem init string, is a general setup command. This command will be sent to
the modem each time you start Procomm. You are free to make is as long and powerful
as you want. Our purpose now, however, is to check if it works.
Most modems do not react if one element in your setup command is wrong.
They respond with ERROR (or the numeric code), and disregard the rest.
Procomm's standard Modem init string has the following commands:
ATE0 S7=60 S11=55 V1 X1 S0=0!
These work well with most modems, provided the speed is legal.
Go back to the blank screen (using ESC). Test the init command by entering it manually.
'R QRW HQWHU WKH FKDUDFWHU 7KLV LV 3URFRPP V FRGH IRU (17(5
If the modem reacts with ERROR, check with the modem manual to find out what is
wrong. (Check if the values S7=60 and S11=55 are not too high.)
If you have to change the init command, go back to the Modem init string menu choice.
Enter the correct commands. Remember to add the "!" at the end.
Press ESC to get to the main configuration menu and select 2, TERMINAL SETUP.
Check if Terminal emulation is ANSI BBS. Change choice 2, Duplex, to FULL. The
other factory settings are NONE, CR, CR, DEST, BS, OFF, ON, 350, OFF.
Return to the SETUP MENU (press ESC). Press "s" to save the setup to disk. Your
setting has now been stored, and Procomm is ready to be used.
Configuring Trumpet Winsock
The easiest is to ask your Internet access provider to do it for you. To do it yourself,
click on File, Setup and fill out the form based on the data that your access provider has
given.
Pay attention to Slip Port. This is where you enter the number of your communications
port. Make sure you select the correct one, and not the one used by your system's
mouse. Baud rate may be set to higher than your modem's dial up rate if it is supported.
If your computer has an old UART, then this figure should not be higher than 9600.
Dialing
Now, test your setup by calling your favorite online service. This is how it was possible
to log on to my now defunct bulletin board in Norway using the old Procomm shareware
program.
You can call manually by entering ATDT followed by the phone number. The most
practical method, however, is to use the built in phone directory.
Press ALT D to get to the phone directory. Press "R" to revise the list, and enter Saltrod
