In the setup screen you can define all kinds of modems you use. This includes
|
|
|
|
|
ISDN modems.
|
|
|
|
|
This is not the setup of individual lines, that is in the next section, so
|
|
|
|
|
if you own a bbs with 5 analogue lines with only two brands and types of
|
|
|
|
|
modems connected, you need only to define those two types of modems here. Some
|
|
|
|
|
defaults are installed during initial bbs setup.

<H3>The Hangup field</H3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
This is only needed if your modem doesn't hangup by dropping the DTR line for
|
|
|
|
|
one second. Most modems do that if &D2 or &D3 is in the init string.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<H3>The Offset field.</H3>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
The <strong>Offset</strong> field is to calculate the cost for outgoing calls.
|
|
|
|
|
Analogue modems need time to establish the connection, 6 seconds is quite
|
|
|
|
|
common. So when you see the CONNECT BLABLA message, the phone connection
|
|
|
|
|
is there already 6 seconds and you are already paying for 6 seconds. This
|
|
|
|
|
offset is thus added to the total calculated connect time for cost
|
|
|
|
|
calculations. For ISDN modems this can be 1 or 0.
