Compaq V.90 Integrated Modem Commands
S5 Command Line Editing Character (user defined)
This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchronous only. The
modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32
ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line. When the echo command is enabled,
the modem echoes the backspace character, an ASCII space character, and a second backspace
character back to the local DTE. This means a total of three characters are transmitted each time
the modem processes the backspace character.

S6 Wait Before Dialing
This register sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem must wait after going off-hook
before dialing the first digit of the telephone number. The modem always pauses for a minimum
of two seconds, even if the value of S6 is less than two seconds. The wait for dial tone call
progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6. This
operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options according to country restrictions.

Default:
Units:
S7 Connection Completion Time-Out
This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait before hanging up because
carrier is not detected. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or goes
off-hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset upon detection of an answer tone if
allowed by country restriction. The timer also specifies the wait for silence time for the @ dial
modifier in seconds. S7 is not associated with the W dial modifier.

S8 Comma Dial Modifier Time

in the dial command string.
