Novaterm 9.6 User's Guide


When re-dialing a number from the dial menu, this option specifies the
number of seconds to wait before retrying the number.

4.3.5 Dial pacing

A large number here slows down the rate at which digits are dialing on
a Hayes-compatible modem. If your modem has trouble dialing, it
may be because the digits are being sent too fast; try increasing this.

4.3.6 Carrier type

This option applies only when using the User port serial driver. It
specifies whether the carrier detect line from the modem indicates a
carrier when high (Normal) or when low (Inverted). (The "carrier
detect" indicates whether there is currently a connection established
with another modem.) This must be set properly, or Novaterm
features that depend on a proper carrier detect will not function, such
as re-dialing and the on-line timer.

To set this, make sure your modem is hooked up and turned on, but is
no on-line. Go to terminal mode and check the state of the indicator
letter C in the status line. If the C is reversed (highlighted) even
though there is no connection, change the carrier type to the opposite
of its current setting.

4.4 File transfer options

4.4.1. Protocol

This option lets you change the installed protocol. It has the same
effect as pressing C= P in terminal mode. (see 3.4.3, Selecting a
protocol
for more information).

4.4.2 Block size

This option allows you to change the block size for the currently
installed protocol (see 3.4.4, Selecting a block size).

4.4.3 Chop X/Ymodem padding

With this option turned on, Novaterm automatically removes any
"padding" added by the Xmodem and Ymodem family of file transfer
protocols (see 3.4.3.2, Ymodem batch about file padding).

4.4.4 Zmodem auto-download

This option controls whether the Zmodem auto-download feature is to
be used. If you do not have the Zmodem protocol installed, this
