COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED

Callback Support — You need to manually place the modem in auto-
answer mode if either of the following situations occur:

callback authentication is required to complete your login

you want IRC to automatically reestablish a connection following a
remote power cycle

Establishing a Connection

After verifying the proper configuration of the terminal emulator settings,
instruct the application to dial into the managed server. The terminal emulator
application should indicate that a call is in progress. If configured correctly,
IRC answers the call. If the server does not answer (possibly indicating that the
OS currently owns the modem), wait 60 seconds and try again. For more
troubleshooting information, see Appendix C.

Invoke IRC Login

When the terminal emulator verifies that the connection is established, press
Enter three times. This action indicates that the incoming call is intended for
IRC.

IMPORTANT: After connection has been established, you have 10 seconds
to press Enter three times to validate the call. Pressing any other key
combination or pressing the correct key combination after the 10-second
interval causes the call to be forwarded to the OS and does not invoke IRC. If
this occurs and modem sharing is enabled, IRC is unavailable for at least 60
seconds following the failed login attempt. Wait 60 seconds and try again.
