What is a modem.

SetUp.
Today let's talk about how to properly
configure MMD for normal and
easy work.
Click on the Break, and you'll be on the menu
"SetUp". The program has already two
"Setup", each of which can be customized for specific purposes.
SetUp'y can be written to disk, use the option "4" menu. At the
same time saves all settings, including the color of the text
in view'ere (Remember, they are configurable keys 1,
2.3 while viewing text, but not in the menu), the speed, the
names of the text file and log'a, size of windows and other
settings configurable in the menu SetUp'a and in
other menus.
And now let's see, what
Need those or other options in the menu "SetUp".
Generally, in sufficient detail all been described in the
"HELP" to the MMD, but that help was is targeted at the
experienced user who already have experience with other
pre-existing terminalkami, and you probably remember that in
this column is designed at the beginning ...
Here, for the sake of interest, you can see,
as I have configured SetUp, but this is not the only solution.
With the setting colors you yourself completely dismantled, so
that the settings cite only "flags" (option "2" menu SetUp).

Consider everything is in order.
Menu "Modem":
------------
- Vicomm - set compatibility
with all pre-existing terminal programs, ie with modem v3.0 "and
above and terminalkoy Mikhail Kondratyev
under Is-Dos; it follows that the first SU
I have configured for compatibility with all
other "terms" and to work with bbs type
Eldorado, ie with supporting these very
terminalki old system of "Maximus"; second SU is set to
SpbZxNet, for example, or in connection with the other owners
of MMD
- Length (128/256) - The number of bytes transmitted in one
block, ie at a time, for Vicomm ON - strictly fixed value
(128), and "OFF" - can and 128, and 256,
and recommended 256 (128 can help
with poor communication)
- Teams - pass or no code executes the command data for
to the second computer it has tracked.
When Vicomm ON: send / receive files
one (OFF) or wholesale (ON)
- Control - always ON; option is provided for
debugging, and from version 2.20 to be removed, with
OFF program does not control the line at
transfer units
- Otzvuchka - advanced users to disable it, and those who just
started learning work with the MMD, recommended ON; error
or successful completion of the transmission / reception / work
with the disk, etc. sounds corresponding to the music, stuffed
with "one finger"
- Echo - display or not vydvodit screen characters in Terminal
mode (ie when the user is gaining anything from the keyboard);
option in SU1 (under the "Maximus") is off because pisishnaya
BBC returns (Sends back) adopted by the symbol
- Speed - if ON, the speed of the host automatically adjusts
the speed of sending, and if OFF, then it must be put by hand
(in the menu "Communication" - ss + Enter); as earlier SU2 not
planned to work with bbs, this option made sense, but now that
SU2 is configured to work with bbs'kami SpbZxNet, in both cases
it is recommended to set OFF, because the first "peep" that
"Maximus" (Eldorado), that " MMD v3.0 "publish a 600 baud rate
- it is clear that such a speed you can not suit
- Text 16/64K - this option in detail was
described in prededuschem room ZxNews; recall only that it
shows the program how to break a long text file - for
16K or 64K
Menu "Flags":
------------
- Sound - no comment
- Cont. CD - Control CD - when ON
the program monitors the presence of a disc in this drive and
if the drive is removed, will issue a "Bam" and offer to insert
a disc
- Cont. cat. - Control of the catalog - as
said MAS, this option is provided for sklerotikov (for example,
for me, until I became include monitoring the disk:), which,
when disc is changed, and the mute "control
Disk forget to re-read catalog - in the
this case, the disk will be permanently killed,
if you try it for something to write as well - just in case
directory disc will be reread again, IMHO, I recommend using a
"Control drive" and "Monitoring directory", and then your
disks will be in perfect order
- CR + LF - if ON, then at the end of log'e
line will be marked code 13 +10 (pisishny text format is used,
for example, ZxWord'e), and if OFF, the only Code 13 (eg,
Is-Dos)
- Resident - only works on Scorpion'e; when ON you can run any
program that does not touch skorpionovskie page, and then by
Magic or Reset to go back to terminalku; MMD maintains itself
in the memory of Scorpion and hooks on a Reset and Magic
- Avtosoh. LOG - Autosave log'a -
If enabled, the overflow log'a
(Maximum length and occupancy can be
look at the menu log'a (ss + E)) will be
saved to disk under the name specified in the
"Ss + E"
- Repeat - is whether or not auto-repeat keys
during their long press
- K. The delay - the number of polling the keyboard
between the auto-repeat keys
Here is the SetUp in terminalke
"Macro-Modem". The next time you are
something to learn. Probably ...
