USING THE COMPUTER PERIPHERALS VIVA 9642E
-----------------------------------------

THIS INFORMATION APPLIES ONLY TO TBBS VERSION 2.1

The ViVa 9642e is a 9600 bps modem that is compatible with MNP and V.42bis data 
compression, and error correction.  In order to achieve maximum benefit from 
MNP data compression, this modem is interfaced at a locked DTE rate. This 
modem is compatible with V.32 at 9600 bps. 

NOTE:  This modem will always report 9600 bps connections regardless of the 
actual speed at which the user connects.  It is not possible to interface this 
modem in any other fashion with TBBS 2.1. 

To install the ViVa 9642e 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=20

PORT:
   I/F = LOCK 19200       (Use Space Bar to Cycle Selections)
   RTS/CTS = Y
   The other 4 settings = N

                        MODEMSET Pre-Conditioning

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

     AT&F&C1&D2&T5&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].
