ValueFax 2.0.4:
DIP Switches: 1, 3, 5, and 8 DOWN (ON)

ValueFax can be installed to work using either a Class 1 or a Class
2(not 2.0) modem. Our modems support class 1 and class 2.0. Class 2 is
not a fax standard, where Class 2.0 is. The two are not
interchangable. When installing the software, select Class 1 Fax.

The installation places files in the following folders:

In the Macintosh HD:
  *  Valuefax 2.0.4 folder:
     *  ValueFax Information
     *  Valuefax Registration
     *  ValueFax Release Notes
     *  ValueFax Users Guide

On the Desktop:
  *  ValueFax Manager

In the System Folder:

This program allows you to fax out from any program that has a print
option. Setting up to print is fairly straightforward. All that needs
to be set is the Cover Page, Dialing Options, Background Operation and
Direct Fax Keys. These are located in the ValueFax Manager under the
Setup menu. The Cover Page Option is self-explanatory.

Under Dialing Options, you can set the Dialing Mode, Dial Tone detect,
Volume, Speaker, various Prefixes(for connecting to an outside line,
etc.), area code and which port the modem is connected to.
Under Background Options, you can select how many times you want to
retry a fax, and at what intervals and how many rings the modem picks
up on(if it picks up at all. None signifies no auto receive).

Under Direct Fax Keys, you can define which key or keys signify that
you wish to send a fax. This is a shortcut key combination to
eliminate the need to use the Chooser to send a fax.
You now need to open a file called setup. It is located in the
ValueFax folder under the System Folder. The file is a Teachtext
document, so open it with an editor. Near the end of the file, make
the following setting changes:

Modem Model                           USR HST
XON/XOFF flow control string          AT&H2&I2

Note:  Do not place AT&F OR ATZ in the Init String. The software sends
       AT+FCLASS=1 after the init string, so placing &F or Z in the 
       string will reset the modem back to data mode.

Note:  We have noticed that it takes a while for the background fax
       portion to fully grab and release the port, so it may cause 
       error messages (modem not responding, etc.) when quickly moving 
       from one communications program to another.

For information purposes, below is a list of the strings sent to the
modem and the modem responses.

Sequence 1: At Startup, before a send, and after a send (except the
last two lines)
