First Class Client v2.5 for Windows and Macintosh:

1. Start First Class. 
2. The program will ask you for the settings file. Click on CANCEL, pull 
   down the "File" menu, and select "New". When you are asked for a 
   folder and file name, enter the location and file name of your choice. 
3. Pick "Modem.FCP" from the "Connect Via" section, and click on "Setup". 
4. For the Protocol type, choose "Serial". 
5. In the "Connection" section, set the modem type, modem port, dial 
   type(under Phone), speaker status, and any scripts, if applicable. 
6. Under cable options, if you are using the appropriate cable, set the 
   following: 

            H/W Handshaking   ON
            DTR Hang-up       OFF
            Carrier Detect    ON

7. Under Speed Option, set the following: 

            Auto Speed   OFF
            Baud Rate    38400

8. Save all your changes. 
9. You should now be back to the original setup screen. Here you can 
   insert your User ID, Password, and Phone number or network connection. 
   The settings file is now complete.

Note:  Except for the Courier HST init string, all the other 
       U.S. Robotics init strings are identical.  The init string 
       is: ATS0=0V1E1X4&A1&H0&R1&B0&K0&M0M0&C0&D0\r, and the "/r" at 
       the end of the string is a carriage return and should always be 
       present. The initialization string essentially disables 
       everything. After the above init string is sent to the modem, 
       other commands are sent, based on the settings in your setup file.
