Defining a Modem Setup 25-5
Note
The modem tool has been upgraded to support the Class 2 and
Class 2.0 FAX protocols in release 2.1 of the Newton System
Software. This upgrade is also available in the German version
of release 2.0 of the Newton System Software. To enable the
use of these protocols, you must define the fax profile in your
modem setup.

Defining a Modem Setup 25
The parts of a modem setup are specified in a Newton Toolkit (NTK) text file,
which is provided by Newton Technical Support. The modem preferences and
profile options are specified by setting constants. The following sections describe
each part of the modem setup.
Setting Up General Information 25
The beginning of a modem setup contains general information about the setup and
the modem to which it corresponds. Here is an example:
constant kModemName := "Speedy Fast XL";
constant kVersion := 1;
constant kOrganization := "Speedy Computer, Inc.";
The value of kModemName appears in the Modem preferences. It is usually the
name of the modem. The constant kVersion identifies the (integer-only) version
of the modem setup package. The constant kOrganization indicates the source
of the modem setup package. For detailed descriptions of these constants, see
“Modem Setup General Information Constants” (page 22-2) in Newton
Programmer’s Reference.
Setting the Modem Preferences Option 25
This modem option configures the modem controller. Here is an example:
constant kIdModem := nil;
constant kUseHardwareCD := true;
constant kUseConfigString := true;
constant kUseDialOptions := true;
constant kHangUpAtDisconnect := true;
For detailed descriptions of these constants, see “Modem Setup Preference
Constants” (page 22-3) in Newton Programmer’s Reference. For more information
