[comp.sys.cbm] Modem Commands

Brendan@cup.portal.com (03/31/88)

 I'm in need of the on-hook, off-hook, and carrier detect locations and
instructions for the following modems:

  1650
  Westridge
  Volksmodem
  Hes

 Any help would be much appreciated..

onhook:
  poke56579,32  
  poke56577,1
offhook:
  poke56579,36
  poke56577,32
carrier: peek(56577)and16 -- if 0, then carrier

1660 is identical, except onhook and offhook are reversed.
>   Westridge
Identical to 1650

>   Volksmodem
Unknown. I avoid products manufactured by Anchor Automation. Saves me
a lot of headaches (talk about horror stories... like the college that
ended up with 16 Anchor Mark XII's through miracles of lowest bidder,
and had to throw them away because they were useless).

I've heard rumors, tho, that the 6420 300 baud modem is similiar
to the HEs ][ (see below). The 6470, of course, is incompatible with
anything... while the Volks 12, while Hayes compatible, has no
provisions for being hung up or taken off hook except HAYES commands
(which is why it's fairly useless for a BBS...).
>   Hes
Onhook:
  Poke56577,56
  poke56579,32
offhook:
  poke56577,0
  poke56579,38
carrier: same as 1650.

Note that I'm assuming Hes ][, and that I haven'T actually SEEN a Hesmodem --
I ripped those #s out of a popular  PD terminal program.

The above is from a table on page 26 of the ICE-64 BBS manual.
