    *  These values are set according to the autodial command given by the user.

    The modem setup string is controlled by message #131 of the video.ovr file.  An alternative setup string may be sent by modifying the sequence between the ^B and ^C characters in message #131.  The default modem string is: O2311221112.  3780Plus changes these parameters for each separate autodial sequence.  You should note that there are many more options that may be changed.  We have left these unchanged so that you may set them according to your specific situation.

    You should be aware of several special options listed below which will significantly impact the performance of your communication session:

    Special Okidata Modem Settings
    OPTION RECOMMENDED SETTING
    #16.  Satellite Option

    #17.  Clear to Send Delay

    #20.  Line Current Disconnect

    		#16.  Must be ENABLED if you are on a satellite link.

    #17.  Should be long if you are using long distance communications.

    #20.  Should be ENABLED so software can sense when the line goes down.

    See your Cleo User Manual 1.5.1 Automatic Dialing in Chapter 1 - Operation for details on autodialing.
