In the setup screen you can define all kinds of modems you use. This includes
ISDN modems.
This is not the setup of individual lines, that is in the next section, so
if you own a bbs with 5 analogue lines with only two brands and types of
modems connected, you need only to define those two types of modems here. Some
defaults are installed during initial bbs setup.

<h3>Setup a modem.</h3>
<p>
<pre>
<strong>Type </strong>The description of this modem.
<strong>Init 1 </strong>The first modem init string.
<strong>Init 2 </strong>The second init string (if needed).
<strong>Init 3 </strong>The third init string (if needed).
<strong>Reset </strong>Not in use
<strong>Hangup </strong>Only needed if drop DTR doesn't work.
<strong>Dial </strong>The dial command.
<strong>Info </strong>Command to get caller-id (not tested).
<strong>Ok </strong>The modem "OK" response.
<strong>Offset </strong>The answer/connect time offset.
<strong>Speed </strong>The maximum modem linespeed, ie 28800.
<strong>Available </strong>If this modem is available.
<strong>Deleted </strong>If this modem must be deleted.
<strong>Stripdash </strong>Strip dashes from the dial command.
<strong>Connect strings </strong>Here you can define 20 connect strings.
<strong>Error strings </strong>Here you can define 10 non-connect strings.
</pre>
<p>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>Special characters</H3>
<p>
<pre>
<strong>\\ </strong>Send one backslash.
<strong>\r </strong>Send the CR character.
<strong>\n </strong>Send the LF character.
<strong>\t </strong>Send the TAB character.
<strong>\b </strong>Send the BS character.
<strong>\s </strong>Send a space character.
<strong>\d </strong>Wait one second.
<strong>\p </strong>Wait 0,25 second.
<strong>\D </strong>Send untranslated phone number.
<strong>\T </strong>Send translated phone number.
</pre>
<p>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>The Hangup field</H3>
<p>
This is only needed if your modem doesn't hangup by dropping the DTR line for
one second. Most modems do that if &amp;D2 or &amp;D3 is in the init string.
<p>&nbsp;<P>
<H3>The Offset field.</H3>
<p>
The <strong>Offset</strong> field is to calculate the cost for outgoing calls.
Analogue modems need time to establish the connection, 6 seconds is quite
common. So when you see the CONNECT BLABLA message, the phone connection
is there already 6 seconds and you are already paying for 6 seconds. This
offset is thus added to the total calculated connect time for cost
calculations. For ISDN modems this can be 1 or 0.
