-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Setup hints for using BGFAX, Class 2, with Lora/2 2.40 Beta 3 08-08-96 B.J. Guillot bgfax@blkbox.com FidoNet 1:106/400 http://www.blkbox.com/~bgfax/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- THIS FILE ASSUMES YOU ARE RUNNING THE *OS/2* VERSION OF LORA! Keep in mind that fax commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM. Be sure that your modem is NOT set to "Auto Answer" mode. REGISTER S0 MUST EQUAL 0. This is a data register and CAN be set in NVRAM. Note that for standard Class 2 modems, your dial strings do NOT need to be modified. Make sure you are using at least Lora 2.40 Beta 3 and BGFAX 1.40 Beta N. Prior versions of Lora/2 and BGFAX/2 may not work together correctly. Here is the relevant information from LSETUP ... [LSETUP] Modem -> Command Strings Init 1 ... ATZ|~~ATS0=0| Init 2 ... AT+FCLASS=2.0|~AT+FAA=1;+FNR=1,1,1,1| Init 3 ... AT+FLI="+1 713 893 9124"| Dial Prefix ... AT+FCLASS=0;DT Dial Suffix ... CAUTION: After you finish setting up Lora for BGFAX, verify that when Lora starts you are getting enough 'OK' responses from the modem. In my brief experience with Lora, it appeared as if Lora was not waiting for an "OK" after sending each string to the modem. That's why I put the two tildes (~~) after the ATZ|. If this is true, then I suggest the authors of Lora fix this annoyance. It makes it hard to use multiple init strings because of that. [LSETUP] Modem -> Answer control Manual answer Yes Force answer ... ATA| [LSETUP] Modem -> Hardware FAX Errorlevel ... 0 [Errorlevel 0 means use RCVFAX.CMD] FAX Message ...... +FCO Create a file called RCVFAX.CMD ... @echo off rem --- "z" is for zfax format bgfax2 /fco:4 c:\bgfax h%3 z rem --- if /fco:4 gives you trouble, try /fco:8 or /fco:2 or /fco:0 Regards, B.J.
