How to configure the Win Fax TSR to receive faxes while in DOS. Setting up the hardware: Connect your Supra Fax Modem as described in your modem manual or "Getting Startred" guide. Setting up the software: 1) Install Win Fax according to the instructions included with the software. Write down the initialization string as it appears during the installation process. 2) Enable automatic reception in Win Fax according to the instructions included with the software. Write down the number of rings specified. 3) Exit Windows, and change directories to the directory which contains the Win Fax software. 4) Enter the Win Fax TSR command. It is described in the Win Fax Users Guide. A supplemental explanation of the command structure and options appears below. The command itself is of the form WINFAX [options] -p [-w] The order of the options is unimportant, but the port and path settings are not optional and must be the next-to-last and last elements of the command, respectively. The options are: -sX Speaker volume, where X=0(low), 1(medium)(default), or 2(high). -cX Speaker control, where X=0(off), 1(on until connected)(default), or 2(high). -rX Number of rings until answer (must be the same as in Win Fax automatic reception setting) -qX Hardware interrupt(IRq), where X=0,1,2,...,15 (defaults to standard for the port specified), (mandatory if using a non-standard IRq or I/O address) -bX Base I/O address of Com port, where X=3F8, 2F8, 3E8, 2E8(strongly recommended if using non-standard IRq) (mandatory if using non-standard I/O address) -mX Fax/modem initialization string, X=string from 1) above. There are two characters which are not directly sent to the modem: the "^", which specifies a 2 second pause; and "\", which specifies a carriage return (to put the "\" in your string, enter "\\") -n Enables call progress display (if not used, notice of received fax is the flashing "happy face" character) -iX Station identifier, where X=identification string An example of configuring the TSR for COM 3 IRq 2 and 5 rings would be: winfax -s0 -c0 -r5 -q2 -b3e8 -mat&f&K4s7=90\ -n -p3 -wc:\winfax Please note that the spaces are and dashes preceding the options are mandatory. Also note that the Win Fax TSR will not function if the modem is configured to IRq 5. This is a Delrina bug, and we have not found a workaround or solution to this difficulty. The Win Fax TSR can be installed in the autoexec.bat file if the Win Fax directory is in the path. The Win Fax TSR is designed to automatically stop on re-entering Windows, and reactivate on exit from Windows. Delrina has noted that putting the TSR in the autoexec.bat does not always cause the TSR to reactivate. If you find this problem occuring, create a separate batch file to deactivate the TSR, activate Windows, then reactivate the TSR on exit from Windows. This three line .bat file will be of the form WINFAX -u WIN[/3] WINFAX -sX then at a DOS prompt, type the name of the .bat file and the TSR will function properly on exit from Windows.
