[comp.sys.ibm.pc] help: info on modem

rferrel@hubcap.clemson.edu (robert d ferrell) (09/27/89)

	Help!  I managed to get an OZ Guardian 533 modem on the cheap this 
summer and I can't get it to work.  I'm trying to use it with Procomm Plus.
This modem has built-in dialing menus and configuration memory.  I don't think
it's Hayes compatible.  Can anyone provide information on this beast?  Can I
use it with Procomm?  Thanks in advance...

   Whether it's Hayes-compatible or not, you should be able to use it with
Procomm, as all (or practically all) of the setup strings, comand strings,
result messages, etc. are user-configurable.  However, you'll need a manual
for the modem to figure these out, and most other comm software won't
like non-Hayes modems.

   My advice is that if it turns out to be non-Hayes compatible, only use
it temporarily.  Get yourself a Hayes-compatible modem with documentation
and a warranty as soon as possible, and life will be a little bit easier
for you.
