 DF> S95 do? 



The S95 S register is a Bit-Mapped register which controls the CONNECT string

and can generate multi-line CONNECT messages.



To enable various Functions add the numbers in the Value column of the table

below.



Bit  Value  Function



 0     1    CONNECT message indicates DCE speed instead of DTE speed (1)

 1     2    Appends /REL to the CONNECT - indicates Error Correction (2)

 2     4    CARRIER message indicates line speed

 3     8    PROTOCOL message indicates type of Error Correction in use

 4    --    Reserved

 5    32    COMPRESSION message indicates type of Data Compression in use

 6    --    Reserved

 7    --    Reserved



NOTES: (1) The modem always reports Line (DCE) speed in the CONNECT message

           by default.  This setting will only indicate Terminal (DTE) speed

           if the "W0" or "W1" command is issued.

       (2) The "\V" and "%U" commands override this setting.





This is how a CONNECT message looks with "S95=47" (also "W2
\V1 %U2")...



CARRIER 28800



PROTOCOL: LAP-M



COMPRESSION: V.42BIS



CONNECT 28800/LAP-M/V.42bis/V.FC
