This communication program assumes that the modem's DSR is always on.
Therefore, if you are unable to send or receive data at all, please check your modem settings.
(You can set DSR to always ON with "AT&S0.")

Notes for use with OS/2 J2.1

(1) When using real-mode programs in a DOS-compatible box, ANSI.SYS must be registered. This should be done in the DOS_DEVICE setting in the DOS settings. Setting it in CONFIG.SYS may prevent seamless windows in WIN-OS/2 from starting.

(2) When using PC-DOS mode, turn off VIDEO_ROM_EMULATION in the DOS settings. If it's on, the connection menu and timer display will be unavailable.
