Possible errors not attributable to the modem
If you wish to download programs or compressed data files from
Semaforum BBS, you must have a communication program that
makes this possible. Keywords in this case: Transmission
protocols with names such as XMODEM or KERMIT.
The transfer is completely controlled by the program and failure
to download is rarely, if ever, the fault of the modem.

simplify the closure of transmissions. The modem is not initially
set to respond to this signal.
