XE Term saves the telephone number in a disk file that keeps track
of your Dialing Menu information. From now on, whenever you
use XE Term, this phone number appears automatically in your
phone book.
After the phone number is stored on disk, your modem begins
dialing the other computer.
LETTING OTHER COMPUTERS CALL YOU
When you communicate with another ATARI or another personal
computer, you may not always want to be the one to do the call¬
ing. The Dialing Menu has an option that lets other computers
call your XM301 Modem.
To set up your XE Term to wait for an incoming call, follow these
instructions:
1. Go to the Dialing Menu.
2. When the Dialing Menu appears, type S.
The screen displays this message:
Waiting for call. SELECT to abort.
You are now in "auto-answer" mode. That is, your XM301 Modem
is waiting to receive a call from another computer. When another
computer calls you, you can begin communicating online just as
you would if you had done the calling.
