DETECT NEW MODEMS
This option detects installed USR modems and
shows what COM port they are using. Run this
if you are running Modem Station for the first
time, if you are changing modems, or if you
simply need to know what port your modem is
using.
TERMINAL
Terminal allows you to send commands
directly to your modem and displays the
responses. You can use Terminal to dial up
BBSs. In addition, you can configure your
modem using Terminal. However, it is much
easier to use the Modem Configurator.
MODEM CONFIGURATOR
Modem Configurator provides an easy-to-use
interface for entering hard to remember
commands. Use Modem Configurator for
troubleshooting, initial configuration, and tuning
your modem for optimum performance. Using
the options available in Modem Configurator,
you can control nearly every aspect of your
modem’s performance. We will discuss
Modem Configurator’s options in more detail
in later sections.
