Modem Reference Information
If your computer has a modem port, you can customize the operation of the modem using
AT commands and S-registers. You can do this from Modem (Windows 98) or Phone
and Modem Options (Windows 2000 and XP) in Control Panel, from most
communications software, or by using terminal mode in your software. See “To change
your modem settings” on page 63.
Note
You should have a good understanding of modems and how they operate before you
change default settings.
This section contains summary information about AT commands, S-registers, and
selected result codes for the built-in modem. Your computer has either a 3Com/US
Robotics or Ambit (ESS) modem. To determine which brand is in your computer:
• Open Modems (Windows 98) or Phone and Modem Options (Windows 2000 or XP)
in Control Panel.
