Configuring Software for the Remote System
You must meet the requirements of the remote system for successful
communications. Though the MT2834ZPX can automatically match
the speed of the other modem, you must specify parameters such as
type of flow control, break length, number of data bits, number of stop
bits, and parity. If you set these parameters incorrectly with the remote
system, gibberish will appear on your screen (See Figure 3-2).
Terminal Emulation
If you are accessing the remote computer as if from an on-site
terminal, the keyboard codes used by your computer may not match
the ones used by the remote computer. To be compatible with the
remote computer, your software must be able to substitute the
appropriate codes in what is known as
terminal emulation. Most
communications programs can emulate the most common mainframe
terminals, including the DEC VT100, VT102, and VT52 terminals, and
the basic TTY mode. If in doubt about which to choose for a BBS, try
ANSI or VT100 first. The following is the MultiExpress for Windows
