Specific System Requirements – Avatex 1200 Modem

If you are using the original Avatex 1200 modem (not the Avatex 1200 HC or Avatex 2400), overlay modifications are required. The Avatex 1200 is not fully Hayes-compatible, and certain communication routines must be adjusted for proper operation.

Once these changes are applied, the modified overlays will no longer function correctly with a true Hayes-compatible modem. For this reason, create backups of all overlays before performing any merges.

Merge the following files into the specified overlays:

ava.init → √bbs.init
ava.nw1 → √bbs.nw1

In addition, merge ava.ovxx into the following overlays:

√bbs.msgs
√bbs.xfer
√bbs.ovl
√bbs.ov2
√bbs.ov3
√bbs.nw2
√bbs.xxx
xxx small

After completing these merges, the system will be configured specifically for the Avatex 1200 modem.

-If you use the Avatex 1200 modem (not the Avatex 1200 HC or the Avatex 2400) on your system, then your overlays need to be changed because the Avatex 1200 is not completely Hayes-compatible.  Once your system has been modified, you will not be able to use the overlays with a true Hayes-compatible modem, so MAKE A BACKUP of all the overlays to be changed.  Merge the following files into the specified overlays:
