USING THE GVC 9600 BPS W/ V.42BIS MODEM
---------------------------------------

THIS INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO TBBS VERSION 2.1

The GVC 9600 is a high speed modem that is compatible with numerous modem 
standards for modulation, data compression, and error correction. Supported 
standards include 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.  In our testing, however, the modem appears to have difficulty 
making successful connections at 300 bps. 

To install the GVC 9600 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 = LOCK 19200
   RTS/CTS = Y
   The other 4 settings = N

                        MODEMSET Pre-Conditioning

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

     AT&F&T5\A1\C2\Q3\V0\X1\N6%A13&W0

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.   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], except for 300 bps, which appears to have some dif-
     ficultly in the tested unit.
