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, this 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. But, wait a minute, before you start
on your modem initialization file make a Boot Disk as shown at the end
of this text file. It has been found that many of the communications
problems have been caused due to overly complex boots configurations
and TSR's running in the back ground. 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. 
    If your still having problems, you may have heard to reload the 
MPS F-15 Software using a plain vanilla boot disk. A plain vanilla
boot disk is one in which only the COMMAND.COM has been transfered
to a formatted disk, via the "C:\DOS\FORMAT A: /S" command. Prior,
to reloading the software another good thing to do is to OPTIMIZE
your Hard Drive. This can be accomplished with MS Dos 6.0+'s
DEFRAG.EXE version of Norton's Speedisk or better yet Norton
Utilities Speedisk Optimize "Full Optimization".

**** Making A Boot Disk for F-15 Strike Eagle III ***

    Another problem found to effect F-15 III's modem communications
are boot configurations. Make a Bootdisk. At your C:\MPS\F15 
directory (with a blank disk in your A: Floppy Drive) type Bootdisk.
Your F-15 III software will make you a bootdisk. There are example
boot configuration AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files at the end of 
this file. Edit the bootsdisk's configuration files to the ones
supplied below, ***this is very likely***.


Example: MS Dos 5.0 AUTOEXEC.BAT    


SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4
SET SOUND=D:\SBPRO
C:\SBPRO\SBP-SET /M:12 /VOC:12 /CD:12 /FM:12
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS
LOADHIGH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM
PROMPT $P$G
CD MPS\F15
F15


Example: DOS 5.0 CONFIG.SYS 

DOS=HIGH,UMB
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE RAM X=B000-C400 FRAME=E000 5136
BUFFERS=20
FILES=20


Example: DOS 6.2 AUTOEXEC.BAT file to be used on a boot disk. If you don't
have a soundcard delete the first three lines. If you have a different
sound card replace the first three lines with the initialization lines
found in your present AUTOEXEC.BAT file. As of Microsoft Mouse Driver 9.0
MOUSE.COM is now MOUSE.EXE, check your computer's AUTOEXEC.BAT file
to find out which Mouse execution file you use. 
    If you have any problems with it, temporarily rename the AUTOEXEC.BAT
and CONFIG.SYS that your computer normally uses to boot from, found in
your C:\ root directory. Copy the new AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files
from your boot disk to your C:\ root directory and run MEMMAKER on it.
After MEMMAKER is done, copy the files back to your boot disk, and
rename your original AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS back to their original
state.


SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4
SET SOUND=D:\SBPRO
C:\SBPRO\SBP-SET /M:12 /VOC:12 /CD:12 /FM:12
PATH=C:\;C:\DOS
LH /L:0;3,25424 /S C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM

Example: DOS 6.2 CONFIG.SYS
