    If  you  cannot connect, three things must match on  both  sending  and

receiving modems/software. One is speed (bps). On non-V series modems,  set

the  software to Autobaud or Autodect = YES/ON, on V-Series NO/OFF. Two  is

Terminal Emulation (most often ANSI), some mainframes use VT100, VT52,  TTY

or some other emulation.  Emulation has nothing to do with the Modem. It is

between  the  software  and your display.  (Some  special  emulations  will

require special software). The last is Parity, Stop, and Bits. You will see

somewhere  in the software a place to set N,8,1 or E,7,1  (could  be  8,N,1

or 7,E,1) the two most common settings. Most local BBS use N,8,1 and  large

BBS like Compuserve use E,7,1.

     VT100 (and others) is not always standard. Some software allows you to

edit keys when they do not match. Procomm Plus, Telix, MTEZ/WPCOM are  some

that allow this.
