22TRAVEL$ENSEThe 28,800 baud setting is supported by CompuServe in almost all cities. SomePCMCIA modems and USRobotics modems require a 19,200 baud setting butusually upgrade their speed to 28,800 or as high as available when connecting.Some older 14,400 baud Internet modems require a baud rate of 9,600 in thesettings. They also may connect at a higher speed than the one set.PHONE NUMBEREnter the CompuServe phone number for your area for the baud rate selected.Using your CompuServe software, such as WinCIM, you can get a complete listfor any area by typing GO PHONES or call (800) 635-6225 for local accessnumbers via an automated response system. Add any additional dialinginstructions to the front of the phone number to get an outside line (e.g.9,,,555-1212 where commas represent pauses) or disable call waiting.INITIALIZEAn initialization string is a group of modem commands (a command string)used to configure your modem. Most modems do not require an initializationstring, so generally you should start with this field empty. A few fax modems,internal 14,400 baud modems and other faster modems may require aninitialization string. In these cases you should try the string used in WinCIM foryour modem. In the Special menu of WinCIM select Session Settings. Then clickon Modem and find the initialize string shown for your modem in the list ofmodems. To copy this string exactly into Travel$ense, highlight the string withthe mouse (except for the ^M at the end) press Ctrl-C, then click on theInitialize box of Travel$ense and then press Ctrl-V to paste. If you are setting upyour modem via the control panel of Windows 95, set error control to “on”and data compression to “off.” Travel$ense requires seven data bits, one stopbit, even parity and no flow control. It should not be necessary to set this onthe control panel, as Travel$ense will do so each time it starts dialing.It is important not to use an invalid initialization string. Some modems willfreeze, not report an error and must be reset. Internal modems require turningoff your PC to reset properly unless you can do so from other software. If aninitialize string does not work, always reset your modem completely and tryconnecting without an initialization string.Network Modem Note: Travel$ense was designed to be used by a single userwith a dedicated modem on their PC. As configured, Travel$ense ordinarily willnot support the use of network-based modems. Contact technical support forfurther information about how you may be able to set up a network modemconnection on your PC. NBAA does not guarantee the operation of networkmodems and cannot provide technical support for their use.Copyright © 1999, National Business Aviation Association, Inc.
