Subject: New Version of MODEM7

       The following files are on MIT-MC in AR61:CPM;

          MODEM 769ASM
          MODEM 769HEX
          MODEM 769COM
          MCNFG 769ASM

also,

          MODEM 7XXHIS   has been updated.


       MODEM 769ASM/HEX/COM are the latest versions of MODEM7.  For
those who don't have MAC and/or the time, MCNFG 769ASM can be edited
and patched over the COM or HEX files with DDT to configure MODEM769
for their system.
       
       Thanks to Bill Rizzi and Keith Petersen for several suggestions
for changes.

The following describes the changes:

;10/01/82  Made changes to outer shell to make program more "user
;         friendly", as follows:
;
;          1. Menu now has three screens of instructions,
;          2. if NOT PMMI then PMMI instructions eliminated from Menu,
;          3. eliminated XPRT mode - replaced with M prompt from
;              Menu command line,
;          4. Menu display routine gets user chosen values for local
;              commands,
;          5. added Menu command to reset disks to R/W,
;          6. added Menu command to display phone numbers for non-PMMI
;              users,
;          7. added Menu command for non-PMMI users to employ routine
;              from user overlay to reset modem ports.
;
;         Made following additions to user overlay options:
;
;          1. added table of local command values,
;          2. added option to convert backspace to rub,
;           3. added option for transmit local character unless
;              preceded by special character,
;          4. added parameter to test for existence of user overlay
;              routine to reset modem ports from Menu.
;
;         Made changes to main line routine checks of user overlay as
;         follows:
;
;          1. get local command values,
;          2. test for convert backspace to rub option,
;          3. not use disconnect local command if non-PMMI user,
;          4. always check overlay for IMSAI before front panel output,
;          5. test whether local command must be preceded by special
;              character.
;
;         Also, wrote overlay file entitled M769CNFG.ASM which user can
;              edit to:

;          1. change the modem ports,
;          2. change options as appropriate to his system,
;          3. change other options to suit his taste,
;          4. include an optional routine to initalize his modem
;              on execution of MODEM7,
;          5. include an optional routine to reset his modem from
;              the Menu.
;                  (Examples of 4 and 5 are given in the
;                     file for the case of the H89.)
