Using a Modem Connection
When you run Eterm for DOS using a modem connection, Eterm sends the contents of the
CONNECT STRING field to the modem. The field must contain the proper modem commands
and host system telephone number.
If the connect string uses ^M, Eterm for DOS performs a carriage return, effectively causing the
connect string to auto-dial. Otherwise, press Enter to process the connect string as it appears on
the screen. On some host systems, you might need to press Enter once or twice to complete the
connection.
If your modem allows you to edit the connect string after it has been sent, you may do so while it
is displayed on the screen.
If the modem connection is interrupted or lost, Eterm for DOS displays the following message:
"Use the Arrow keys to highlight an option from the menu, and press Enter to continue."
