     This is really a shot in the dark, but I have a Novation SmartCat modem
that I bought about 6 years ago and lost the manual to it 5 years ago.  Never
was a problem till last year, because I knew how to do the important things
like set the baud rate and dial.  Last year, however, I started calling our
VAX and discovered that my modem seemed to be changing the parity and the VAX
didn't like that at all.  After starting with "%A" and working towards "%Z",
I found the command to make it compatable with our VAX to be "%F 3".  God only
knows what that stands for.  Now text works just fine, but Kermit keeps timing
out with my modem, but not with a friend's, and I can't get it to communicate
with our NAS mainframe.  I'm just short of saying the hell with it and buying
a new modem, but I figured I'd try this first.  If by any chance someone out
there has a manual for it, could you please EMAIL me a list of the commands
and the DIP switch settings (I've been afraid to even touch them).

Thank you,
