NOTE:
Modem Station's
Terminal window is provided
primarily for troubleshooting
convenience. If you frequently use
BBSs, you will probably want to
use a separate, full-featured
Terminal program such as that
provided in our RapidComm
software.
On the lower part of the Terminal screen, you
will see the COM port your modem is
currently using. To select another modem,
simply click on the arrow and select that
modem's assigned port.
To the right of the port settings are the port
speed settings. Port speed is the speed at
which your computer sends data to the
72
U M S
SING ODEM TATION
modem. We will discuss port speed settings in
detail later in this section.
Terminal includes a basic auto dialer.
To have Terminal dial a number for you, click
Dial to bring up the "Dial" screen.
You need to tell the Dialer a few things about
your phone system, such as whether it uses
tone or pulse dialing, what digit, if any, you
need to dial to get an outside line, and whether
the dialer should wait between dialing that digit
and the rest of the number. Once you provide
this information, simply enter the phone number
as if you were dialing a telephone. Click Dial
Now to dial the number.
You can end a call by clicking Hang Up at the
bottom of the screen.
