This keeps the modem LOCKED at the DTE speed. In GAPSETUP, configure your modem for GAP as follows: Modem Reset String : ATZ1{~~ Modem Init String : ATH0{~~ Modem Off-Hook String : ATM0H1 <---Note: NO { or ~~ Seconds to wait for carrier : 60 Seconds to wait for connect : 2 <---Note: Increase if needed Initial BPS Rate : 9600 Lock BPS Rate : Y Answer on True Ring Detect : Y Full flow Zmodem uploads : Y Send BREAK to clear buffer : Y User Inter Character Delay : N **When the modem initializes at the bottom of the 'Call-Waiting' screen you** **should see 2 ok's, not 3 as mentioned in the manual. (e.i: ATZ~~ OK OK) ** NOTES: 1) Although this modem is very reliable and error-free, it is a bit slow to respond to the RING signal, but should not be a problem. 2) You might find that at times the modem does NOT go Off-Hook when shelling to DOS/GAPCALL/GAPMAINT and what not.
