Yep, 216 was dope. Even back then I was using all different kinds of computers to connect to and run BBSes. I ran a small 2400 baud, 1 line, Telegaurd BBS off my 386. It was called Sacrificial Lamb. Before that was a Mac Plus w/ 1200 baud. Fido, Usenet - it was all there - and a much tighter community. Those were the days.
I run MacOS and mkLinux - I set up the modem with the modem setup program (tollsaver, 2 channel) under MacOS. It seems to set the defaults in the firmware, thus no need for a special init string.
In my case, I never had to specify an init string...

Remember Logo? You give it commands like:
REPEAT 36
GO SQUARE
RIGHT 10
NEXT
END
# SQUARE
REPEAT 4
DRAW 100
RIGHT 90
NEXT
RETURN
...and it makes neat pictures. It's what sparked my interest in programming.
