USING THE HAYES V-SERIES ULTRA SMARTMODEM 9600
----------------------------------------------

THIS INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO TBBS VERSION 2.1

The Hayes V-Series Ultra Smartmodem 9600 is a high speed modem that is 
compatible with numerous modem standards for modulation, data compres-sion, 
and error correction.  Supported standards include Hayes V9600, CCITT V.32, 
V.42, V.42bis, MNP Class 4, MNP Class 5, and many others. It features full 
downshifting to lower speeds, while automatically using a high DTE rate when 
connected at high speeds using data compression. 

To install the Ultra for full operation with TBBS Version 2.1, use the 
following installation procedure:

                    CEDIT Port/Modem Options Settings

In CEDIT use the following settings:

MODEM:
   Type = 5
   INIT = ATE0Q0X1V0M0 S0=1 S2=255 S7=35

PORT:
   I/F = Automatic
   RTS/CTS = Y
   Issue ATZ Before INIT = Y
   The other 3 settings = N

                        MODEMSET Pre-Conditioning

Use the MODEMSET program to "pre-condition" the modem as follows:

AT&F
AT&C1&D2 S36=5 &W

NOTE:  THIS STEP IS ESSENTIAL!  The modem will NOT operate properly with
TBBS if you do not pre-condition it exactly as indicated!



                                  Notes

1.   This setup allows full operation of the modem in all modes possi-
     ble.  

2.   By following this Tech Note, the Hayes Ultra is driven at a maximum
     DTE rate of 19,200 bps.  38,400 bps DTE rate support is not pos-
     sible in TBBS 2.1 without port locking (for which we do not provide
     configuration information or support).  A 19,200 bps DTE rate
     should prove adequate for most applications.

3.   Our testing indicates that these settings produce reliable opera-
     tion in all modes at all baud rates with TBBS 2.1S, 2.1M[16] or
     2.1M[32].
