Subj: REPLY TO MSG #366 (MODEM PROBLEMS ON A T102 PORTABLE)
Will: The internal modem on the 102--as is on the 100 and 200--was originally programmed to be used through the built in TELCOM program. The TELCOM program was designed by Bill Gates of Microsoft fame to be used as either a front end for auto-dialing or online use. This has confused many a user over the years but it's actually quite simple and well planned. To make a long story short, simply place the <> characters after the number you wich to dial if that number is another computer (modem). Without the <> characters it will simply let the phone ring once and hang up; the concept being that it is simply an auto-dialer and that the user has picked up the phone to voice-answer the call. Example: Auto-dial a voice number <F2> function Enter 4159328856 Hit <enter> Pick up the phone and respond to the person at the other end Example: Auto-dial a BBS number <F2> function Enter 4159391246<> Hit <enter> Wait for the computers to conect and respond via the keyboard Hope this helps... -Rick-
