NOTE: US Robotics owners, please read over the USR section in the READ.ME
      file before proceeding!

Please make sure the following two items are true before proceeding...
(1) DIP switch #5 is in the "SUPPRESS AUTO ANSWER" position
(2) You have already put all relevant DATA commands for the BBS into NVRAM

Note that, generally, fax (AT+F) commands CANNOT be stored in NVRAM.

Run PCBSETUP.EXE and make the following changes in the modem section...
(Do not use PCBMODEM.)

Make the following changes...

Init-1      ATZ^M~~ATS0=0+FCLASS=2.0
Init-2      AT+FNR=1,1,1,1;+FLI="713 555 1212"
Offhook     ATH1M0
Answer      AT+FAA=1;A
Dialout     AT+FCLASS=0DT

If your BOARD.BAT file (or, whatever the file is that starts up your BBS),
after the PCB.EXE line...

  pcb.exe
  if errorlevel 7 rcvfax.bat

(If you have any other "if errorlevel" lines in your BOARD.BAT, remember
that errorlevel numbers must be in DESCENDING order: 9,8,7,6,5, etc.)

Make a new file called RCVFAX.BAT that says the following:
  @echo off
  bgfax /fco:4 c:\bgfax 1 z
  board.bat

The "1" is for COM1.  Change that if necessary for your modem.

If you are using PC Board/2 and BGFAX/2 (OS/2 executables), instead of the
"1" for COM1, you might need "H%pcbhandle%" or "V1" depending upon what
version of PC Board/2 you are using.  The "H" tells BGFAX that instead of
a port number, a port handle follows.  The "V" tells BGFAX to open the
port followed by the "V" in VBBS-compatability mode, which is needed on
some of the newer versions of PC Board/2.  Example:
  bgfax2 /fco:4 c:\bgfax v1 z

P.S... USR's FAX/ARQ light WILL flash when waiting for calls!
