Re: Modem problem

["John M. Davies" <jmdavies@barbequesgalore.com.au>]

Hi People,

    Just pointing out, the INIT string is not a function of the comms
program, it is a command to the modem itself, so any good comms package
should be able to send any sort of init string to the modem.

    ATZ is the standard Hayes command to 'RESET MODEM TO DEFAULT' settings,
and must be on it's own line, hence the <return> character is required.
After that, most modems will also respond to standard Hayes command set
commands, but the individual modem in use will usually have an extra set of
commands provided by that modems manufacturer, to support the unique
'features' of that particular brand of modem.

    You will need to obtain the command set booklet provided with the modem,
to read the list of extra commands. Sadly, like printers, each manufacturer
has their own idea of what a good command set is, so no two modems extended
command sets are identical.

    If you don't have the booklet, try searching the web or getting in touch
with ZOOM tech support directly for information for this particular modem.

Hope this helps.
Cheers...
JMD.
