Your modem will pick up the phone and dial the number, and if all goes we ll , it ' ll then
connect with the modem on the rece iving end . If you get thi s far, you' re set; you can start
your chess game. When you move a piece, that move will happen on your opponent 's end as
well as yours. Note that after the two players are connected, the menu options NEW GAM E,
SET UP BOA RD, and LOAD GAM E will send an e ntire new chess board to both sides,
di scarding the c urrent game.
When you set one player to Modem you can send text to your modem or opponent by just
starting to type the text. Thi s w ill bring up a dialog box in which you can e nter a 36-column
line of tex t. When you press <Return>, the window will di sappear and the line of tex t will be

commands, and it is also the way you send messages to your opponent once you are

o pponent's screen with your message. After di smi ss ing the window by clicking the mouse or
press ing <Return>, the game can continue. You can receive these messages at any time except

modems will act on them. See your modem manual for detail s on AT commands.
