Making the Modem Connection
In Anzio’s Communicate/Setup dialog, choose “Modem” as your type of
connection. If more than one modem is listed, select the one you wish to
use. Enter the phone number to be dialed. Click “OK”. Anzio should
dial the modem, establish a connection with the host-end modem, and
present a login prompt as generated by the host system.
5.3
Signing Off
Signing off is the process of disconnecting the modems, and “hanging
up” the phone line. Either modem can initiate the process, depending on
the host operating system. When one modem hangs up, the other will
detect that and hang itself up, notifying the computer to which it is
connected.
To end the session from the host, enter a host command such as
“logout”, “exit”, or “BYE”. On most operating systems, the host then tells
its modem to hang up. When your modem detects the hangup (“carrier
drop”), it hangs up, and then Anzio behaves as indicated in the
Communicate/On Line Drop setting. Anzio can quit, redial, or stay
running in a “not connected” state.
To hang up the modem from your end, use the Communicate/Hangup
menu item or the HANGUP command.

Modem Setup
If it is necessary, you can exercise more control over the modem on your
PC. In the Communication Settings dialog, click the Setup button next to
the list of modems. This brings up a Windows standard “Modem
Properties” dialog. Following are some notes on items you might want or
need to change.
5.4.1
Modem Connection Speed
Ordinarily, the two modems used in the connection will negotiate a
maximum possible speed, for the greatest throughput. However, you
may need to force a lower speed. You can try to do this by setting
“Maximum speed” to a lower value. However, note that many modems,
especially so-called Winmodems, do not obey this setting. You can
