2.3.8 PC Card Modem Settings
The PC Card modem settings control the bonded PCMCIA modem card. The Ailonet PC Card mo-
dem interface supports dial-in, but it is not possible to make an outside call with Ailonet. After es-
tablishing a connection, however, it is possible to define the connection so that Ailonet uses the
modem as a connection to an external network or other server. In this situation, Ailonet functions
as a normal Client.
When using a modem, it is recommendable to check all settings. If you have problems in estab-
lishing a connection, you should try another flow control, data transfer speed or number of rings
before answering. It is, however, not recommendable to change the initialization string, if you are
not completely certain of what you are doing.
