The online reference that comes with the modem (on disk) should have all
the commands and registers explained, you just click on the command you
want to know about. Volume control and DTMF dialing speed are set the
same way they have always been set. S11 sets the DTMF dialing speed,
which can be set from 50 to 255 milliseconds, ATS11=70 sets the DTMF
tone duration (and time between tones) to 70 milliseconds.
The modem speaker can be enabled or disabled by using the ATMn command.
ATM0 turns the speaker off all the time. ATM1 (the default), leaves the
speaker on until the data carrier signal is detected. ATM2 leaves the
speaker on all the time. ATM3 turns the speaker on after dialing and
leaves it on until the data carrier signal is detected. This lets you
hear the modems negotiate, but you don't have to listen to it dialing.
Most people want the ATM1 command to be used.  Of more interest is the
speaker volume command.  The volume is controlled with the ATLn  command
where n is 0,1,2, or 3. ATL0 and ATL1 make the volume low. ATL2, usually
the default, gives a medium volume and ATL3 a loud volume.
The PCBMODEM settings for the V.34 ACCURA should work fine for this
unit. We're dealing with pretty much the same basic AT commands here. As
for DOS software, we stopped making DOS software a few years back, and
currently we have no DOS software available at all. There is really no
chance there will be a DOS version of Smartcom Message Center.
