Question:
As
I
type on the keyboard, each character appears
twice on the screen. What's wrong?
Answer:
Both your computer and the service are echoing the
characters you transmit. Press
[Select]
then
O
to go to the
Options Menu, then press
D
to set Duplex to Full.
Question:
Can
I
use my ATARI XM301 Modem and XE Term to
communicate with non-Atari computers?
Answer:
Yes. Your ATARI XM301 Modem operates at what are
known as Bell 103 data-transmission standards — 300-bit (30
characters) per second, full-duplex transmission (it sends and
receives data simultaneously). This means your ATARI Computer
can now exchange information with literally millions of similarly
equipped computer systems.
Question:
We have two extension phones. What happens if some¬
one picks up the other phone while I'm connected to a service?
Answer:
The information you receive will be garbled. To avoid this,
disconnect any extension phones while you're on line. Don't leave'
the extension off the hook or you'll receive garbled data when the
extension phone picks up any noise.
Question:
My phone has the "call-waiting" feature —it beeps if
someone tries to reach me when I'm already talking on the phone.
What happens if someone calls while I'm connected to a service?
Answer:
Because XE Term treats the beep as extraneous noise,
you'll receive garbled information. The connection may also be '
dropped when someone calls and a "call-waiting" beep is
sounded.
