Note that, generally, fax (AT+F) commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.
This file details the setup for Class 2 faxmodems (Supra, Zoom, PPI,
other Rockwell-based modems).  This file is NOT for US Robotics modems.
See the VBBS web site for more information.

Here is the relevant information from FDSETUP ...

                               Channel 1

        1) Serial Port: COM2             [whatever necessary]
        2) Base Address (Hex): 2F8       [whatever necessary]
        3) IRQ (Hex): 3                  [whatever necessary]

        4) Baud Rate: 38400              [whatever necessary]
        5) Locked Baud Rate:  Yes
        6) CTS/RTS Handshake: Yes (Normal)
        7) Minimum Baud Rate: 1200

        8) Init String1: ATH0Z
        9) Init String2: AT+FCR=1;+FLID="+1 713 555 1212"
        A) Init String3: AT+FAA=1;+FDCC=1,3,0,2,0,0,0,0
        B) Off-Hook String: ATH1
        C) Answer String:   ATA
        D) Dial String:     AT+FCLASS=0;DT

        Z) Modem String Help

        [Esc] to EXIT

Rockwell-based modems generally exit with a string of "FAX" (Supra, Zoom)
and sometimes only a "+FCON" (PPI).

FAX.BAT
~~~~~~~
C:\BGFAX\BGFAX.EXE /FAX C:\BGFAX %2 Z

The %2 variable is the com port, as passed by VBBS.  The "Z" stands for
ZFAX style file format.

The /FAX switch is useful for most Class 2 modems that product a "FAX"
result code.  If you have a PPI modem, for example, it will instead
produce a "+FCON" result, and a different BGFAX command switch will be
necessary, instead of /FAX, perhaps /FAST:4, /FAST:0, or even /FAST:8 (only
trial and error will let you know.)
