Soon your computer should start constantly asking the other machine if
it’s getting your file okay.
If it isn’t?
Then your computer will conscientiously try again. But its patience is
limited. It’ll give up eventually if the two machines and their software
aren’t on speaking terms.
And if everything does work? Your computer will beep when it’s through
or at least flash a message letting you know that it’s done.
_Note_: If the other person is using some versions of MODEM7, you may
have to ask him to switch on the “check sum” form of error checking.
This guide is for the simple old MODEM7, not newer versions. Most of the
commands, however, will also work with the updated varieties, and of
course all versions of MODEM7 can communicate with each other, subject
to minor adjustments. _Some_ versions use the =TCC= command to turn on
the check-sum mode.
