Here are two config files - maybe these'll help ya:

This file is the setup for a Apple //gs with a SupraFAXModem V.32bis using a
modem cable that uses the DSR line for carrier detect.
 
Heavily commented for new sysops to learn from and for my own notations.
Please do not remove the comments and then pass this out. I want the comments
left in if it is to be shared.
 
The "1234567890" things are for figuring out string length more easily.

------here's file #2------------

Ok..here is my metal config file for the Supra 14400. This seems to work well
for me. You can see how I handled the busy signals etc. This was before I got
my rom upgrade (which now recognizes the busy signal). A couple of things you
should set in nvram as well. Set S38=255. I also recommend that you set %E and
%G to 0. You should definitely set %E to 0 :)
 
This is my cable below. I built my own, but you can obtain this cable from
Alltech Electronics under the name of Hardware Handshaking cable Metal/GS. You
must be specific when ordering this from them. (619)721-7733.

DTR and RTS _must_ be          *: Ground RX+ to prevent noise pickup.
jumpered for the modem         RX+ is not needed for RS 232
to send data to the
computer!                      Pin 6 TX+ is _not_ connected!

In your control panel Have everything to default (modem port) except:
 
*- Turn DSR/DTR handshaking to NO
 
Make sure that Buffering is OFF!!!
 
 
Well..I hope this helps you somewhat. This setup seems to work just fine for
me!
