Subject: MDM714 now available
The latest version of MODEM7 is now available on SIMTEL20 as MDM714.
Irv Hoff has released a fully-commented version of the source code
and renamed the overlays so they don't have to be updated when a
new version of the main program is released. Some overlays have
been improved and/or fixed. You should get the new one apporpriate
to your hardware.
This program is based on one originally written by Ward Christ-
ensen in September 1977. It has since undergone a considerable number
of changes. Recent changes include auto-dialing and continuous redial-
ing for the Hayes 300 or 1200 Smartmodem and the U. S. Robotics, along
with the standard PMMI 103 routines the program has long supported. It
also handles up to two alternate long distance systems such as SPRINT,
ALLNET,MCI, (can be used to auto-dial TYMNET), etc.
NOTE: Special configuration files are being added for specific types of
computers. A large number are already available (as shown below)
and others are being added as interest escalates.
The files are are on SIMTEL20 in the MICRO:<CPM.MODEM7> directory.

To adapt this version to your equipment, you will want to get
some of these programs. The minimum would be any pair in one of the
examples shown below.)
There are several ways by which you can set the proper ports,
status pin values, etc. for your equipment.
1) Use your editor, ASM (or MAC) MDM714.COM and
and DDT (or SID) with: M7xx-x.ASM
(7xx-x stands for an appropriate overlay)
or
2) Use your editor, ASM (or MAC) MDM714.ASM
One of those should appeal to you. The program is designed to
work immediately for PMMI users with no changes - just use MDM7xx.COM.
(You might wish to change some of the available options, however. It
is set to use base port 0C0H.)
When ready to use the program, type 'H' (for 'HELP'), hit RET
and it will display helpful information on the commands. There are so
many commands there are several pages. You can abort the display with
a CTL-C. (One of the most useful features being CTL-P to toggle your
printer on/off.) You can also type a question mark (?) which shows the
current parameters.
