modem!
Since I upgraded my Computer to a 486dx-4/100 the hang up string no longer
works and I can't figure out one that works.  I looked in my modem book
and that doesn't help either.  Someone please help me <G>

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello everybody.
I have a Zoltrix 14.4 Kbps Send & Receive Fax v.32bis 14.4 Kbps Data
Modem with RPI software-supported V.42bis, V.42 and MNP5 Error
Correction and Data Compression with throughput up to 57600 bps and
integrated 16550 UART chip.  Model #: FM-144ATI
I just downloaded the WinRPI driver from the AOL BBS, and I'm supposed
to be installing it.  I did, and now I need the right INIT string for my
modem.  Can anyone help me?
All of this RPI hassle is to solve a problem I have in AOL.  In Edit
Location, it says 14400, but when I connect, it says "Connecting at
19200 baud..." and plus, I have the Rocwell RPI chipset (generation 1).
Plus, I don't seem to be connecting right/fast.  I have trouble in chat
rooms, because it doesn't seem to send it fast enough, and download
times are often incorrect.
CAN ANYONE HELP?

assistant: Hi Michael hows it going, to answer one of you question. I have F2 setup for
my name. To do this use Alt-J to get to the menu then push the FKey that you
would like to use, for ID enter "@USERID" for password use "@PASSWORD".
 What ever you have in the User-ID field will be enter on screen when you
ush
the FKey with @USERID and the same goes for the password.
 If you have any more problems let me now.

that my settings should be ^[OA for UP, ^[OB for down, ^[OD for left and
^[OC for right (these were the settings that Qmodem used for the control
key in combination with the arrow keys).   BTW, in the Windows 95

working fine now!  Thanks for the mail.

Why do it that way?, Why not use the ALT Q to create a script file, edit the
file and use that to send your PW and ID?
Put your name and PW in the phone book for each number you call, then in your
script file for each number, sub $USERID for the name and $PASSWORD for the
PW, this makes the script file look up the info for each different BBS. Also
don't forget to put the xx.scr, where xx is the id for each bbs in the
phone book where is shows script.  Making a script for each BBS gives you a
custom script, as each BBS is different from each other.  I also do a .cap
when logging on for the second time. that way I don't have to call that bbs
over and over just to test my .scr file for seq order, spelling and caps

assistant: You need to set the arrow keys to send the proper commands in QModem Pro
1.53. This can be done via ALT-J.
You can also load a special VT100.KEY file that comes with QModem Pro 1.53,
which gives the default VT100 keys. You would load this file via ALT-J
ALT-L.

I use OLX for Windows from Mustang!  This is a commercial package.  I
think MSI sells it for around $40.  I believe Mustang has a 'Demo'
version of OLX for Windows on their BBS (805-873-2400) that is fully
functional except that you can't create a reply packet.
There are several shareware off-line readers available but I believe the
registration fee is nearly the same.  The more popular shareware readers
are Blue Wave, CMP Qwk and RoboMail.
Hope this helps.

see other messages - but gave the above a try to see if it worked.  It
is very easy to switch to doorway mode in QmodemPro for Win 95 - you
just click on the doorway button.  No luck, the arrow keys did not work
until I changed configuration so that the second "[" is a "O", e.g ^[[A
is ^[OA.
No problems now - but thanks for the response (& happy new year).
