TO TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE WITHOUT SAVING ANYTHING ON YOUR DISK
Just think of your computer and the other person’s as two Teletype machines connected. When hitting a key on either Teletype, you or the other person can make the two both print, right? Well, it’s the same with the computers. Here, however, the “print” is characters on your two screens.
Ready?
1. Start out with the other person’s modem set on ORIGINATE and yours on ANSWER (or vice versa) if the modems lack automatic switching.
2. Type MODEM7 after the A> prompt of CP/M (or PC-DOS).
3. Hit your carriage-return key.
The menu listing your choices will flash onto your screen.
4. Hit the letter T.
5. Tap the return.
6. Assuming you’re using a manual modem, flick the switch to “data.” With a smart modem, you use the right keystrokes to awaken the gizmo or get it to answer the other computer.
