TOPIC :  MDM712 MODEM PROGRAM INSTALLATION INFORMATION

       This program is based on one originally written by Ward Christ-
ensen in September 1977.  It has since undergone a considerable number
of changes.  Recent changes include auto-dialing and continuous redial-
ing for the Hayes 300 or 1200 Smartmodem and the U. S. Robotics, along
with the standard PMMI 103 routines the program has long supported.  It
also handles up to two alternate long distance systems such as SPRINT,
ALLNET, MCI, (can be used to auto-dial TYMNET), etc.


NOTE:  Special configuration files are being added for specific types of
       computers.  A large number are already available (as shown below)
       and others are being added as interest escalates.  This file will
       be updated accordingly.

       To adapt this version to your equipment, you will want to get
some of the following programs:

       (The minimum would be any pair in one of the examples shown
below.)

       There are several ways by which you can set the proper ports,
status pin values, etc. for your equipment.


     1) Use your editor, ASM (or MAC)  MDM712.COM    and
        and DDT (or SID) with:         M712xx.ASM

               (712xx stands for an appropriate overlay)
                                                             or
     2) Use your editor, ASM (or MAC)  MDM712NASM


        One of those should appeal to you.  The program is designed to
work immediately for PMMI users with no changes - just use MDM712.COM.
(You might wish to change some of the available options, however.  It
is set to use base port 0C0H.)

        When ready to use the program, type 'H' (for 'HELP'), hit RET
and it will display helpful information on the commands.  There are so
many commands there are several pages.  You can abort the display with
a CTL-C.  (One of the most useful features being CTL-P to toggle your
printer on/off.)  You can also type a question mark (?) which shows the
current parameters.

        The program has received numerous worthwhile optional features
in the past several months.
