USING THE ATI 2400ETC
---------------------

THIS INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO TBBS VERSION 2.1

The ATI 2400etc is a 2400 bps modem that is compatible with MNP and 
V.42/V.42bis error correction and data compression.  In order to achieve 
maximum benefit from data compression, this modem is setup in such a way as to 
always report a 9600 bps connection, regardless of the actual connect speed.  
This means that TBBS will always communicate with the modem at 9600 bps no 
matter what speed the user dials in at.  This fixed rate causes the modem to 
display slight "elasticity" (lack of responsiveness) on some types of calls.  

To install the ATI 2400etc 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 = 4
   INIT = ATE0Q0X1V0M0 S0=1 S2=255 S7=35

PORT:
   I/F = Automatic
   RTS/CTS = Y
   The other 4 settings = N

                        MODEMSET Pre-Conditioning

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

     AT&F2&C1&D2&T5W0&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.   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].
