Re: Epic Modem Card Manual

[rpirong@pro-phx.cts.com (Richard Pirong)]

Paul Bauer. The manual for the Epic Classic II 2400 modem is nearly
useless.  It includes the standard Hayes command set and a glossary
of computer terminoloy which you can find most anywhere. Just page
fillers to make the book look good.
The important info is the DIP switch settings and reccomendations for
several comm programs. Here is what it says ------------
 
Switch Position                                 OFF     ON
 
Switch #1 - CTS    Clear to send                True    Always ON
Switch #2 - DTR    Data terminal ready          True    Always ON
Switch #3 - DCD    Data carrier detect          True    Always ON
Switch #4 - INT    Interrupt                 Enabled    Not enabled
 
Here are some switch settings for some common software packages.
 
ASCII Express Pro, MGR Manager, Mousetalk, Net Master, Vid-Text,
Talkback, ProTerm and Point to Point.
 
Switches 1, 2 and 3 OFF.  Switch 4 ON.
 
If you have a problem with a software package, try switching
Switch #3 to ON.
If you continue to have problems, feel free to give us a call.
