----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problems & Solutions ==================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problem: When you try to run a game of Modem Doom, and it does not Dial, Answer, or Communicate with your modem. Solution: Use a communication program and initialize your modem first from the communcation package, then try setup & Play. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problem: It connects fine, but both machince wait for the other player. Solution: Try another init string and/or try to initialize it from a communication package first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problem: It connects fine, but one machine will wait for a player & the other will start playing without the other player. Solution: The Modem that was answering, has the wrong init string. Either Try reversing who calls and answers, or try another init string. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problem: Game playes really jerky/slow on a fast machine. Solution: Upgrade from your 8250 chip to a 16550 chip - the 8250 chip can cause the machine to send information 16 times slower than the 16550. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problem: Game playes really jerky/slow on a fast machine with a 16650 after about 2 minutes of play. Solution: Try using the alternet SERIAL driver provided with DMINIT11.ZIP. Please note: The Serial Drivers are NOT ID software patchs. Do not ask for Tech support on these, as ID software will have no idea what you are talking about. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Problem: Don't like the Low Speed Drivers. Solution: Use the Alternet SERSETUP.EXE that is included with DMINIT11.ZIP. It supports high speeds. Remember Disable MNP5! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Init Strings (3-8-94) ===================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AT&T Dataport 2001: AT &F%VFX7S62=0%VG9\Q2\N0&W AT&T Dataport: AT &F X7 S62=0 \Q2 \N0 &W ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Boca AT &Q6 %C0 &K0 Boca 14.4 Fax/Modem AT S46=0 S37=9 N0 &Q0 &D2 &K4 Boca 14.4k AT S46=0 S37=9 N0 &Q0 &D2 &K0 %C0 Boca 14.4 internal AT &C0 S37=9 N0 &Q0 &K0 W0 S36=3 S48=128 %C0 Boca 14.4k (external) AT &F S0=1 S36=0 &K0 &Q6 N0 S37=9 &D2 Boca M1440i (internal) ATS48=0S37=9S46=136%C0%E0%M0&K0&Q0&R1&C1&D2\G0\N1N0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cardinal AT &F W0 &Q0 &D2 Cardinal 14.4k AT &F N0 S37=9 &Q0 &D2 \N1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Computer Peripherals 14.4 AT &F S37=9 S46=0 N0 &Q0 &K0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Digicom Systems (DSI) (softmodem) AT Z \N0 &D2 &K0 S48=48 Digicom Systems Scout Plus ATZ*E0*N3*M0*S0*F0&D2 Digicom connection 96+Softmodem: AT \N1 &d2 %c0 s37=9 &K0 Digicom connection 96+Softmodem: AT Z \N0 &D2 &K0 S48=0 Digicom connection 96+Softmodem: ATZ*E0*N3*S0*M0*F0&D2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ GVC 14.4k (internal) AT &F B8 \Q0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gateway Telepath AT &F S37=9 %C0 &K0 &Q6 \G0 Gateway Telepath 14.4k AT S46=0 S37=9 N0 &Q0 &D2 &K0 %C0 Gateway Telepath I: AT S0=1 &N6 &K0 &M0 Gateway Telepath I: AT &F S37=9 &K0 &Q0 %C0 N0 \G0 &D2 S46=0 S0=1 Gateway Telepath II AT S0=1 S37=9 %C0 &Q0 &K0 Gateway Telepath II: AT &F &K0 &M0 &N6 S0=1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Generic 14.4k Fax/Modem AT S46=0 S37=9 N0 &Q0 &D2 %C0 \G0 &K0 Generic v.32bis 14.4k AT \N0 %C0 B8 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hayes 28.8k V.FAST Modem AT &Q6 &K S37=9 N %C0 \N0 Hayes Optima 28.8/14.4 AT &F S37=9 N0 &Q0 &K0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infotel 144I: AT &Q0 S37=9 N0 &D2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Intel 14.4k AT \N0 %C0 \Q0 B8 Intel 14.4k (internal) AT Z B8 Q1 \C0 \N1 %C0 \V Intel 400/i Fax/Modem: AT Z\N0 %C0 "H0 S31=9 &Q0 &D ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Macronix AT S36=3 S37=9 &K0 %C0 \G0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Microcom QX/4232bis AT %C0 \N0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOKIA ECM 4896M TRELLIS V.32.
