10.1 Modem Initialization
When the MCNRCD program finds a dialing string in the MSF file, it will
automatically initialize the modem using the commands specified in the
MODEM.INI file and then dial the number in the MSF file.
The dialing string for the number you wish to dial must be programmed into the
MCN Screen File or specified at start up with the /D:DialingString option. This
dialing string contains the phone number of the modem at the HIB location as
well as any special dialing codes required by your phone system.
The format of the dialing string is the following: ATDTdialstring
where ATDT is the command string header (this tells the modem to dial a phone
number) and dialstring is the actual phone number to be dialed. If the ATDT is
omitted from the dialing string, the modem will not successfully dial the number.
