Adding modems

Modems enable you to communicate over phone lines with remote systems. Any external 100% AT-compatible modem should work provided it is connected to a serial port that is capable of supporting modem control protocols. All SCO OpenServer-supported serial devices can provide modem control. Some third-party multiport smart serial cards cannot be used as they do not support modem control. To set up a modem on your system, follow these steps:

  1. Install the modem on your computer.

  2. Configure the modem.

  3. Set hardware flow control.

  4. Configure connections to remote systems.

  5. Test the modem.
