NOTE: USR Sportster 14.4K modems cannot be used with BGFAX and FD

NOTE: I do not recommend using the 21600 USR modem (v.32terbo) with BGFAX
      because of many problems in the fax mode (09/20/93 and 12/08/93).

The only USR modem I recommend using with BGFAX is the 28800 V.Everything
with at least the 12/02/94 FLASH firmware.  The 28800 Sporster modem should
work with the same configuration, but I have not tested with one.

Please make sure the following two items are true before proceeding...
(1) Your modem is NOT set to "Auto Answer" mode (REGISTER S0 MUST EQUAL 0)
(2) You have already put all relevant DATA commands for the BBS into NVRAM

Note that, generally, fax (AT+F) commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.

Run PCBSETUP.EXE and make the following changes in the modem section...
(Do not use PCBMODEM.)

Make the following changes...

Init-1      ATZ^M~~AT+FCLASS=2.0
Init-2      AT+FNR=1,1,1,1;+FLI="713 555 1212"
Offhook     ATH1M0
Answer      AT+FAA=1;A
Dialout     AT+FCLASS=0DT

If your BOARD.BAT file (or, whatever the file is that starts up your BBS),
after the PCB.EXE line...

  pcb.exe
  if errorlevel 7 rcvfax.bat

(If you have any other "if errorlevel" lines in your BOARD.BAT, remember
that errorlevel numbers must be in DESCENDING order: 9,8,7,6,5, etc.)

Make a new file called RCVFAX.BAT that says the following:
  @echo off
  bgfax /fco:4 c:\bgfax 1 z
  board.bat

The "1" is for COM1.  Change that if necessary for your modem.

P.S... USR's FAX/ARQ light WILL flash when waiting for calls!
