Microprose F-15 Strike Eagle III
MODEM.INI Modem File Initialization Strings

    For all those people having problems or would like to improve  
their F-15 III Modem communications. First (if you haven't already) 
download from the MPS BBS (at 410-785-1410) Files Section
F15303.ZIP, the patch/upgrade file, that will eliminate many of the 
non-communications bugs in F-15 III Strike Eagle and add a Desert 
Storm Scenario. Choose from the following list the appropriate modem 
initialization file for your modem. Locate the MODEM.INI file in the 
MPS\F15 directory. With a non-word processor editor (Norton's, Xtree's 
or DOS EDLIN for example), edit the MODEM.INI file communications 
command lines to read the same as the one you choose. Leave the rest 
as it is. Before going into the "Modem Area" of F-15 III go to the 
"Quick Start" area jump in your F-15 III and calibrate your joystick. 
A joystick out of calibration will degrade the modem communications 
mode. After completing the joystick calibration, curser up to the pull 
down menu, at the top of the screen and abort the mission to bring you 
back to the "Home Screen". Go to the Modem Area and proceed as usual. 
In the event your modem is not listed, choose one which the commands 
are supported in your Modem's Manual. As for improving your
communications mode, one of the first two modem command files listed
may be supported by your modem thereby boosting your data transfer 
rate to 14400 baud. A much smoother transfer rate.
