Connection

In the modem setup example (page 17), the connection from

the PortServer to the modem was set to use RTS/CTS hardware

handshaking. Here, Betty tells the modem to use the same, by

typing:

AT&K3

(Betty is connected directly to the modem, so there are no com-

mand prompts.)

Baud Rate

In the modem setup example, the connection from the

PortServer to the modem was set at 2400 baud. Now Betty sets

the modem to 2400 baud.

(The exact command depends upon the brand and model of

modem; refer to your modem documentation when setting up

modem connections.)

Call Service

Betty now calls the online information service by telling her

modem to dial the telephone number (Hayes “AT” command

shown; your modems may be different):

ATDT 123-4567

(The example number “123-4567" above would be replaced by

the actual telephone number of the service you are calling.)

Log off

Betty exits the online service, then closes the connection to the

modem and logs off her terminal:

exit

modems, and using modems and the PortServer with UNIX-

based operating systems.
