Atari XM301 Owner's Manual page 16

Caution:
The standard default value for this attribute is FULL
duplex. This is because most information services and bulletin
boards automatically display all characters—those you enter and
those it sends. If you change the attribute to HALF duplex and
then
call a service, you'll see every character twice. The service
displays each character once and your computer displays it once.
Before you call an information service or BBS, be sure to change
this attribute back to FULL.
3. If you are communicating with another ATARI Computer, press
T.
The Translation line switches from ASCII to ATASCII. If you press
T
again, it will switch back to ASCII. Press
T
until ATASCII is
displayed. ATASCII is the special character translation code
used by ATARI Computers.
Caution:
The standard default value for Translation is ASCII. This
is because all other computers use the ASCII translation code.
Before you call any system that is not an Atari, be sure to
change this attribute back to ASCII.
If you are communicating with a non-Atari computer go to Step 4.
4.
Press
[Return].
The screen displays the message:
Save configuration to disk Y/N?
If you intend to continue communicating only with other personal
computers after this session, press
Y.
The XE Term program stores
the new attributes on disk. These will remain your attributes until
you go back to the Options Menu and change them.
If you intend to call other services or BBS's after this session,
press
N.
The XE Term program uses these values until you leave
XE Term. The next time you start up XE Term, the original default
attributes will return.
The screen displays the Functions Menu.
5. Decide whether you or the other computer user will initiate
the call.
If you will make the call, go to the Dialing Menu (press
D)
and
dial the other computer.
If the other computer user will make the call, go to the Dialing
Menu (press
D)
and select the Set auto-answer mode command
(press
S).
XE Term sets up to receive the call.
