Getting started quickly with modemu
===================================
Prepared for the Debian package by John Goerzen <jgoerzen@complete.org>

Here are a few brief hints on getting started with modemu.

IMPORTANT:

 * To exit a modemu run from a command prompt, type:
   AT%Q

   Ctrl-C will *not* abort modemu!

 * To exit a Minicom running Modemu, just use the normal Minicom exit
   key.
 * modemu by default uses a 7-bit connection.  You need to use special
   commands to use an 8-bit clean connection.  (see below)
 * When using atdt, don't forget the quotation mark.  For instance, to
   telnet to somehost.somewhere.net, you would type:
   ATDT"somehost.somewhere.net

   This is probably the most common mistake people make.
 * You can use ZModem and Kermit over a modemu connection (for instance,
   to BBSs).  Just make sure you are in 8-bit clean mode.  (aka binary
   mode)
 * Here is a sample command line to start Minicom using modemu in 8-bit
   mode:

   modemu -e "AT%B0=1%B1=1&W" -c "minicom -p tty%s"

   You might want to alias this with your shell or put it into a script.
 * You can use modemu from UUCP by using the port type "pipe" and
   using a command like modemu -e "AT%B0=1%B1=1&W"
 * Finally, read the manpage and the README file.
