If you do not find the modem in the list presented during configuration of NIAS, you can create a script using the scripting tools found in the Novell Developer Kit:

Extract the contents of WANCOMP.EXE.

In the folder:

WAN\ModemScriptFiles\Modmscpt

Document mdmsp14.pdf also describes the procedure.

Here are the steps recommended to create a working modem script:

1. Take an existing modem script which is similar top the one you wish to create as a starting point. Edit that script using the information supplied with the modem (the AT command set). You will need an existing modem script in text (source) format in order to do this. Use Mdmtxt.exe to convert Novell's binary files to text. You will find 3 binary files containing compilations of modem scripts in the SYS:SYSTEM directory on the server. These files are:
   • NIASCERT.MDC
   • NIASMDM1.MDC
   • NIASMDM2.MDC
   Taken together, these represent a large variety of scripts for modems and ISDN TA's. One of these will serve as a good starting point for your new script. Typically, the "Hayes Compatible" script is a good one. To convert the binary .mdc file to text, use mdmtxt.exe (DOS) or wmdmmgr.exe (Windows).
2. Be sure to use a unique name for the modem inside the script (MODEM = <name>). If you are writing a new script for an existing modem, you can add a version number to the name or add some other extension to differentiate your script from an existing script. The Novell configuration utilities will display this name in the appropriate menu so you will be able to recognize it and chose it.
3. Use Mdmcvt.exe (DOS) or wmdmmgr.exe (Windows) to convert your modem script in text form to the binary format. Be sure to chose a unique name for your MDC output file. Copy this file to SYS:SYSTEM.
4. If you want the NetWare Remote Access Server to discover your modem automatically, add ATI0 and ATI3 modem strings to the MODEMS.INF file in the SYS:SYSTEM\CONNECT directory. (See Appendix A of the referenced specification).
5. Test your script in the remote access and routing applications.

Note that the file NIASCERT.MDC contains Novell certified scripts. These have passed Novell certification tests. Other files contain scripts which are not certified but have been tested and verified to work.
