Xon/Xoff Modems
Some early modems assume software flow control (Xon/Xoff) between the computer and the modem.
Modems with this design send extra characters during and after the transmitted data. The service
processor cannot accept these extra characters. If your configuration includes such a modem, your
functional results may be unpredictable.
The sample modem configuration files included in this appendix do not support these modems, so custom
configuration files are necessary. Anchor Automation 2400E is an example of such a modem.
If you experience unexplainable performance problems that may be due to Xon/Xoff characters, it is
recommended that you upgrade your modem.
