questions about init string

[narayan]

What does the init string do? what can be done with it?

[psyklone]

the init string can be set in the advanced connection properties of your modem and it passes commands, as specified in the string, to the modem as it is initialized for communication. thus the term initialization string. it can be used for many different things, including manipulating and resetting S-register values to accomplish different tasks; increasing/decreasing dialing volume, changing the speed at which the modem dials, telling it how long to go without a carrier signal before it drops the connection, etc, etc.

i hope this has helped some.

Yeah, that makes sense. I have tried to implement several different strings to try and speed up dialing, but to no avail. How can I find an init string that works?

Try this string it worked for me
&C1&D2E1Q0V1X4 S7=55 S11=55 S0=0
