The first window in this section is the Port Data window. You may
press the Page Down key to access the Modems Data window.

The following items may be set for each Virtual Port (1-8) in the
Port Data window:

Baud rate: 300, 1200, 2400, 9600, 19200 or 38400.

Parity: None, Odd, Even, Mark or Space.

Data Bits (i.e., Word Length): 7 or 8.

Stop Bits: 1 or 2

Flow Control Type: RTS/CTS (hardware flow control), Xon/Xoff (software
                   flow control) or None.

Automatic Baud Rate Detection: Yes or No. If set to Yes, Scripta will
                               automatically reset the port, when a
                               connection is made, to the value
                               returned in the modem CONNECT message.

The following items may be set for each Virtual Port (1-8) in the
Modem Data window:

Initialisation string:

        This is the string which Scripta sends to the modem whenever
        the port is initialised.

Dial Prefix and Suffix:

        Whenever Scripta dials a telephone number, the string sent
        to the modem to cause the dialling action is composed of the
        three elements

                   Prefix <telephone_number> Suffix.

        Thus, the default strings dial numbers using the format

                   ATDT <telephone_number> ^M

        where ^M represents a Carriage Return character.

        If you find that Scripta is failing to dial numbers then
        first check that the modem responds 'OK' when you type

                           AT<return>

        at the Command Mode screen. If it does then there is
        probably a timing problem. Try inserting up to four
        ~ (tilde) characters at the start of the dial prefix.

        This causes Scripta to delay, half a second per tilde,
        before dialling numbers. This in turn gives the modem time
        to recover from any preceding action such as hangup or
        initialisation.

Hangup string:

        This is the string to be sent to the modem whenever Scripta
        needs to sever a connection.

        If you blank out this field, or insert a ! character at the
        beginning, then Scripta hangs up by dropping DTR, rather than
        sending a command string to the modem.
