The second dialing method is to use the XFER /MDstr format, where str
is a dialing command to be sent directly to the modem. This string can
be any recognizable phone number text, such as [phone] or
5554443333.
The last M option on the command line or in the environment variable is
the one used for controlling the modem. All earlier modem-command
settings are ignored.
If you use the M option without specifying a command, the modem will
be disabled for that transfer session. This is useful in the case where
modem commands are specified in the XFER_ARGS environment
variable but you wish to transfer files without a modem for the current
transfer session.
N
Ignore Previous Option Settings
This option causes XFER to ignore previously specified options and
return to a default state. All options specified in the XFER_ARGS
parameter and on the command line preceding the N are ignored. All
options that XFER supports are returned to the default state, and all
filenames, response files, modem-initialization files, and modem
commands that are specified before the N (including the XFER_ ARGS
environment variable) are discarded.
The N option is useful when the XFER_ARGS environment variable is
used to redefine defaults for XFER. It isn’t always obvious that the
XFER_ARGS parameter is controlling the behavior of XFER, and it is
often the case that several parameters have been redefined. Instead of
having to set each option back to its default, you can use the N option to
return XFER to a known state.
