Your Application and V.25 bis
The contents of V.25 bis communications are made up of ASCII strings that handle the 
call-establishment (such as providing the number to be dialed) and call-clearing (such as 
handling call failure) functions.
Some V.25 bis commands specify dialing calls to a preprogrammed or stored telephone 
number. The modem determines the scope of V.25 bis commands (issued from the DTE) 
and indications (responses from the modem). Refer to your modem manual for details.
All V.25 bis implementations must support the minimum set of V.25 bis commands and 
indications, as required by the CCITT (see Table 1-1
).
The DTE and DCE pass the commands and indications in unnumbered information (UI) 
frames that adhere to the ANSI X3.66 frame format.
Figure 1-3
 shows the frame format for V.25 bis and the source of each frame. Further 
information on procedure calls is provided in the examples that follow the figure. 
Your Application and V.25 bis
When a line has been defined for V.25 bis mode, your application can generate 
commands and responses to the modem by issuing appropriate sequences of the 
Guardian procedure calls FILE_OPEN_, SETMODE, DEFINELIST, CONTROL, 
READ, and WRITE.
