Using the Compucom Speedmodem with SPITFIRE 3.0 BBS Software

 Using the Compucom Speedmodem with SPITFIRE 3.0 BBS Software:


This is by no means a technical document on all the different ways to

initialize your CompuCom Speedmodem for SPITFIRE, but a SIMPLE guide.


oo ..Be sure the Speedmodem ROM version is at least 2.51. Type ATI3...

\/ ..from any communications program in TERMINAL mode for results...

   ..EXAMPLE: (c) Copyright CompuCom 1990 V2.51


oo ..Refer to the init string below...

\/


SPITFIRE /I19200 /C2 /M AT&F2 +F *H2%C0 S0=0S2=1&C1&D2V1Q0M0H0X1&W

          |       |   | |___| |  |____| |________________________|

          |       |   | |     F  |      |

          |       |   | |     A  |      Recommended for Spitfire!

          |       |   | |     X  |

          |       |   | |     |  Depends on error mode wanted

          |       |   | |     O  *H1 or *H2    (MNP-5)

          |       |   | |     F  *H1 or *H2%C0 (MNP-4) -|Recommend

          |       |   | |     F  *H1 or *H2\N0 (no MNP)-|either one

          |       |   | |     |

          |       |   | |     For COMBO only, do NOT use on CHAMP.

          |       |   | |     NOT USED FOR Roms after 4/1/91

          |       |   | A must for Speedmodem!

          |       |   |

          |       |   OVERRIDES Spitfire init string...

          |       |

          |       Selects com port...

          |

          Locks the port...


          

oo ..Place it in the file SF.BAT that starts Spitfire...

\/

   ..(I.E.)


:LOOP

   C:\

   CD\SF

   SPITFIRE /I19200 /C2 /M AT&F2+F*H2%C0S0=0S2=1&C1&D2V1Q0M0H0X1&W

                                ^^Not for roms after 4/1/91

oo ..It is a good idea to change the actual string within Spitfire...

oo ..*H2%C0 can be substituted with other variations...

\/ ..as recommended in the Speedmodem manual...


oo ..If using the COMBO, add +F to the Initialization string...

\/ ..turns fax off on the COMBO, returns ERROR on the CHAMP...

     NOTE: +F NOT USED for roms after 4/1/91


Dialing out:


oo ..RTS-CTS ON, ALL BAUD at 19200, AUTO BAUD DETECT OFF...

\/

   ..When using a long distance carrier with the Speedmodem...

   ..call your LD customer service and ask if a "carrier code"...

   ..is needed for proper "bandwidth" on "asynchronous" connections...


oo ..An example where this code is needed is the US Sprint...

\/ ..FIBER OPTIC NETWORK, to access a ""full-bandwidth" line...

   ..the code 10333 is needed, that is dial 10333-1-800-000-0000...

   ..this ensures that the FULL bandwidth is available to you...

   ..otherwise, a sudden "No carrier" can result...


This by no means covers all the ways to use SPITFIRE with a Compucom 

Speedmodem.  But it should help you initially (pun?).  If all else 

fails, don't forget to read the doc's!
