SEND  Version 0.0
Send A String To Your Modem From The CP/M-86 Command Line
Freeware from Kirk Lawrence  (August, 1996)


SEND lets you to send a command string to your modem directly from the
CP/M-86 command line.  It's much more convenient than loading a full-
blown terminal program, if all you need to do is send a few modem "AT"
commands.

SEND comes in four different versions: SEND1.CMD, SEND2.CMD, SEND3.CMD
and SEND4.CMD.  The number in the filename refers to the COM port number
to which your modem is assigned.  So if your modem is on COM2, for example,
you'd use SEND2.CMD.

For convenience, it's suggested that you re-name the appropriate version
of the program to just plain SEND.CMD, using the CP/M-86 "REN" command.

To use the program: type SEND followed by the command string you wish to
send to your modem.  For instance, if you want to send the reset command
"ATZ" to the modem, you'd type:

     SEND ATZ

...and then press the ENTER key.  That's all there is to it!  SEND will
accept a string of up to 122 characters (although some modems might not
accept a string that large).

SEND makes no judgements about the modem command string which you've entered,
and it doesn't care how your modem responds to that string.  SEND simply sends
the string you tell it to send.  So if you've entered garbage, then garbage is
what will get sent!

WARNING: If you attempt to send a string to an uninstalled COM port number,
or to a COM port number which doesn't contain an actual modem, SEND will
"hang"...and you may have to reboot your computer.

SEND is compatible with virtually all hardware.  It works with any class of
IBM-compatible computer -- from the original 4.77 MHz. PC, to the fastest
Pentium-based machine -- and with any modem that uses normal, standard port
addresses.

TECHNICAL INFO: SEND directly accesses the modem's control ports at the hard-
ware level.  It doesn't use any operating system services for modem access...
so it should work in most any environment; even under CP/M-86 emulation.

SEND, in all its permutations, is free.  As is always the case with "freeware,"
there are no guarantees whatsoever.  If you use the program, you do so entirely
at your own risk and peril.  Your use of any permutation of SEND shall be prima
facie evidence under law that you understand and accept these terms and con-
ditions.
