Before starting cFos, you must first load the required CAPI driver . To start
cFos in DOS, call the file STARTFOS.BAT from the cFos directory, or enter
cfos i <CR>
Entering STOPCFOS.BAT will stop cFos, as will the alternative
cfos d <CR>
In Windows, cFos is automatically started if the WIN.INI file was updated
during installation.
To load these drivers automatically at startup, these drivers can be called from
the AUTOEXEC.BAT
cFos does not support the same AT command user interface as ATCAPI. Thus, some
AT commands familiar to ATCAPI users may not be recognized or executed. Please
refer to the cFos driver documentation. Further information to this subject is to be
found in the files CFOS.DOC, MODEM.DOC AND CFOS.FAQ.
The following options, or combinations thereof, are available:
Option Meaning
i Loading cFos driver
d Unloading cFos driver
-cn Load FOSSIL port n, e.g. COM3 is loaded with -c2

The AT command set has established itself as the world-wide standard for
modem control command syntax (AT = command prefix AT tention).
The two general operating states of the ISDN adapter board in the AT mode
are the command state and the online state (transmission state).
After the drivers have been loaded, the ISDN adapter board is in the
command state . Commands can be accepted, interpreted and executed in
this state only. After a successful connection with the other party, the ISDN
adapter board automatically changes to the online state.
Online state signifies that a connection to another party exists. The ISDN
adapter board is "online", either with a successful connection (outgoing call)
or with the acceptance of an incoming call. In this state data exchange is
possible between the two connected stations.
