SUMMARY
=======

The following is the contents of the Microsoft Mail version 2.1e modem script
file IBM5853.MDM, which can be compiled with SCRCOMP.EXE:

  ;*********************************************************************
  ;
  ;                    Microsoft Mail Script File
  ;
  ;       Filename: ibm5853.mdm
  ;       Date    : March 21, 1990
  ;       Script  : Standard script file for IBM 2400 bps modems
  ;
  ;     This modem has a set of 8 switches on the rear panel.  These
  ;  switches should be set as follows:
  ;
  ;                      1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8
  ;                 ON   X  X  X  X     X  X  X
  ;                 OFF              X
  ;
  ;
  ;     This script file contains the standard modem setup strings used
  ;  by the External, Transmit and Listen programs. There are five
  ;  procedures defined in this script file for setting up the modem and
  ;  for connecting to a remote External machine.
  ;
  ;     The modem setup strings used here will be adequate for most
  ;  people but there may be some changes required if you are dialing
  ;  overseas and require a longer wait for Carrier Detect (S7 register)
  ;  or if you wish to change the speaker volume. Note that if you used
  ;  the -Innn option in version 1.0 or 2.0 that you will have to modify
  ;  the S7 register and recompile this script file.
  ;
  ;     Consult your modem manual for more information on setup options.
  ;
  ;  Script procedures defined:
  ;       INITIALIZE
  ;       RESET
  ;       CALL
  ;       ANSWER
  ;       DISCONNECT
  ;
  ;  Return codes for External, Transmit, Listen:
  ;       0  - OK
  ;       1  - CONNECT 300
  ;       2  - not defined
  ;       3  - NO CARRIER
  ;       4  - ERROR
  ;       5  - CONNECT 1200
  ;       6  - not defined
  ;       7  - BUSY
  ;       8  - NO ANSWER
  ;       9  - not defined
  ;      10  - CONNECT 2400
  ;      11  - not defined
  ;      12  - CONNECT 9600 (high speed connection)
  ;

  ;  Special Notes Regarding the IBM 5853 Modem:
  ;  -------------------------------------------
  ;
  ;  While the line is ringing (you can here it ring), this modem will
  ;  not accept any modem commands, including "ATA", the command
  ;  required to answer the phone. Commands can be issued to the modem
  ;  only when the modem stops ringing completely, or when it is in
  ;  between rings.
  ;
  ;  "ATZ" cannot be issued safely between line rings, because this
  ;  command would cause this modem to go off-hook and goes into data
  ;  mode, and no further; modem commands are accepted until DTR is
  ;  dropped, or 50 seconds later. ( The "ATZ" command would not reset
  ;  the modem as well when the modem goes off-hook this way. The
  ;  sequence "+++" would not bring the modem back to AT command mode
  ;  either. )
