Hi all,

I've noticed that we've had quite a few calls regarding the setup of
our modems for a variety of Bulletin Board Systems.  Generally, the trouble starts when it is a BBS that has been derived from Telegard or WWIV.  A short list of these BBS systems are listed below, and should be set up in the same manner.  The following init string and result code chart will make them up and running in less than 3 minutes.  The board list is as follows:

o Renegade
o Power 
o X-Zot-Iks
o Illusion
o Vision or Vision/2
o Liquid
o LSD
o Celerity (v1.41 and earlier)

Of course, the list also includes Telegard itself.

The init string should be as follows:

<From the Modem Setup Screen in System Configuration Section>

"AT&F&B1&H1&R2&A0&K3X4V0H0|"  <-  That last character is a "pipe", found above the backslash key.  On the key, it looks kinda like a squeezed colon.

Make sure Flow control is set to CTS/RTS only.

Make sure Lock Baud Rate is YES.

Make sure Port Speed is set to at least 19200.

And now for the result code chart:

		Primary                 Alternate

300 Baud           1                       0
1200 Baud          5                       0
2400 Baud         10                       0 
4800 Baud         18                       0 
7200 Baud         20                       0 
9600 Baud         13                       0 
12000 Baud        21                       0 
14400 Baud        25                       0 
16800 Baud        43                       0  
19200 Baud         0                       0 
38400 Baud         0                       0

That should take care of them!
