        2. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

        Scout Plus, internal model: 4 by 6 inches, rather compact, same chips
        as in the external version, which is described below. The internal
        has a 16550 16 byte buffer. The compact size makes this modem a good
	choice for portable computers, or others where space is at premium.

        Scout Plus, external model
        On the 5 1/2 by 1 1/2 front panel are 10 LEDS:

        MR      modem ready 
        TR      terminal ready
        AA      auto answer
        EC      error correction
        HS      high speed
        RD      receive data
        SD      send data
        CD      carrier detect
        CS      clear to send (hardware flow control)
        OH      off hook

        The body of the modem is manufactured out of sturdy grey plastic
        with a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 footprint. The top shows some venting grills.
        The back carries these connectors from left to right:

        RS-232 DB25 female
        Two switches for forcing DCD on and test mode
        RJ11    phone
        RJ11    line
        5 pin power connector
        ON/OFF SWITCH

        These power supplies are available:

        110 Volts, 60 Hz, 12 W input, 9V, 1 A output, US style three pronged
        integrated power supply-plug.

        220 Volts with US style three pronged plug

        240 Volts with German style two pronged plug

        The bottom panel carries a sticker with key AT Commands and the data
        compression/error control commands.

        The FCC sticker says: Complies with Part 68 Rules. FCC IDENTIFICATION:
        GSX-USA 65928-FA-E, Ringer equivalence: .8 B

        The EPROM version is also printed on the bottom on a small label in the
	rear.
	
	Now we take it apart and find these chips:

        Analog Devices ADSP-2101 chipset (2105 family) running at 11.98135 MHz.
        Two Eproms, 27C512-1 (64 kbytes), labeled U10 2413 and 27C010-100 (128
        kbytes), labeled U2 2407 DSP. The first EPROM stores the code for the
	microcontroller and the second for the digital signal processor (DSP).
	The RS 232 drivers are 14C88/14C89. A small 1 1/4 inch diameter 
	speaker is taped off with electrical tape over the top (my doing). 
	There is also a 80C31 microcontroller and two 25 nsec fast VRAMS (ISSI).

        The board looks clean with no glitches or wire add-ons detectable.
        It was easy to reassemble with just four Phillips screws which are
        accessible from the bottom.


        3. SOFTWARE

        The Scouts come with Qmodem data communications software on a 1.2 MB
        5 1/4 floppy. The software is preregistered, which means prepaid and
        the owner merely has to send in the registration card provided to
        Mustang Software to get access to their technical support.

        The fax software is Delrina's WinFax Lite 2.0 and Delrina's DosFax
        Lite. Delrina's packages have been editors choice in a recent review
	of fax software in PC Magazine.

	Currently there is no MacIntosh software package available with the
	Scouts. However there are three standalone FAX products available: 
        Smith's Microsoftware's QuickLink II/Fax and FaxSTF from STF Technology
	in Concordia, Missouri. Delrina, producers of WinFax is expected to 
	also develop a MacIntosh application before year's end.

        In general all fax software which is Class 1 (EIA-578) compliant will
        work with the Scout Plus modem. There are many other packages
        available for other platforms.

        5. TESTS


        Data throughput under 'everday' conditions: taken with a slow
        computer (8 MHz XT), Zmodem in Qmodem 4.31 under DOS 3.3. A
        16550AFN UART was used, though.

        Scout+ to       T2500   V.32 V.42bis    zipped          1050 cps
        Scout+ to       T2500   V.32 V.42bis    textfile        1750 cps
        Scout+ to       T3000   V.32bis V.42bis zipped          1600 cps
	Scout+ to       Ultra   V.32bis V.42bis textfile        3300 cps
        Scout+ to       USR DS  V.32 V.42bis    zipped          1050 cps
        Scout+ to       USR DS  V.32 V.42bis    zipped          1600 cps

        Take a 486/50, DSZ Mobyturbo, enable write during receive and you
        can add most likely 5% to 10% to these numbers.

	These numbers were measured across the nation, Palo Alto to the
	East Coast.

        Modem delay:

        Scout+ one way from Palo Alto to the Nat'l Bureau of Standards
        time service in Boulder, Colorado, using their echo feature.
        The delay is 75 milliseconds. About 1.3 milliseconds of this
        are caused by the 16550 buffer. Some other high-speed modems
        I am familiar with have slightly longer echo times. In this test
        the Scout+ compares well.

        Interactive response.

        I have installed the Scout+ on three different architectures:
        DOS, MacIntosh and my Sun. I tested the smoothness of the response
        by calling roughly 50 different modems over two continents. I find
        the interactive response on the DOS and Mac smooth and zippy when
        connected to Sun Multiprocessing systems, PCboard, Fido nodes or
        simple SunOS UNIX. I do spent quite a bit of time each day in
        interactive via modem. On the Sun on about every one of three screen
        updates there is a slight jerk noticable about half to three
        quarters down the 19" monitor. This may have to do with
        V.42bis translate table switching. The Scout+ uses a 2048 byte 
	translate table, but it can switch to smaller sizes if the other
	modem does not support this size.

        The DTE speed was 57.6k on DOS and Mac. Suns dont do 57.6, so it was
        38.4k. Hardware flow control was enabled on DOS and Mac, but not on
        the Sun. 

        One annoying feature I found is the loud and scratchy speaker. One
        tester, Wolfgang Rupprecht, suggested to stick a piece of electrical
        tape over the top of the speaker and it works fine.

	Newer Scouts will have a 2.2 Kiloohm resistor with a 22 pF capacitor
	over it at position R25, which also solves this problem.

        Here is a ping echo delay test:

This reports some more ad hoc SLIP tests over some modems.
Neither I nor my employer assumes any responsibility for any errors.

Since my last such posting, I've seen the DSI Scout+ and Intel 14.4EX.  I
don't like the Intel modem, despite its nice packagin.  I hope DSI improves
the speed of the Scout+ to approach their 9624LE+.

     Judging from the LED's, this modem is unable to send and receive at
     the same time.  That is implausible, but would explain its very low
     throughput.
 =====================================================================

 latency: `ping remotehost` for at least 60 seconds and note the
    quickest response.

 speed: `ping -s xxxx remotehost` for at least 20 seconds, and observing
    that the delay is not steadily increasing.  The number 'xxxx' is the
    largest round number at which the modems seem to keep up.

The first test is intended to measure the latency of the modems.  The
second depends on full-duplex throughput and modem compression.  The data
in the packets has low entropy, consisting of ICMP and IP headers and
"counting bytes" (1,2,3,...).  The packets in the first test are 3+84 bytes
long (cslip framing, IP, ICMP, data).

These tests are not real modem throughput measurements.  They might almost
be similar to SLIP traffic.

The systems were running 4.3BSD-(mostly)reno TCP/IP stacks in SGI's IRIX
4.0.1 SLIP with VJ cslip.  (Cslip does not compress ICMP ECHOs.)  The MTU
was 512.

Each system used an intelligent serial board with modified firmware which
can run 4 ports each at 38.4b/s or 5 ports at about 34KBytes/sec aggregate,
measured by running several `cp bigfile /dev/ttyz` to loop-back cables.
The drivers on the serial ports add as much as 20 milliseconds of
(intentional) latency.  Timing is done with the IRIX "fast timers" turned
on.  RIP, time service, and DNS traffic is on to keep things from being
completely artificial.

The phone lines are all in the same CO.

        Signal Quality Monitoring:


        Signal quality monitoring is an optional feature in V.32bis.
        Some modems dont have it and are still V.32bis compliant. The Scout
        modems do have it and it is a feature I like. Essentially the bit
        error rate is monitored and if it exceeds a certain threshold a line
        retrain at the same speed (*Q1) is negotiated. Often this will then
        enable further data flow. If *Q2 is selected the modem can fallback
        to a lower speed or fall forward to a higher speed if the line
        quality allows this. The modem needs about 30 seconds of a clean
        line before it falls forward, much less than the 10 minutes of a
        clean line for the Telebit T3000. If you select *Q3 you allow the
        modem to disconnect if it can not achieve data throughput after
        several fallbacks. It has been my experience that modems without
        this feature lock up easier and eventually just disconnect. USR DS
        also have this line quality monitoring feature. I do not know
        if any other modems in the Scouts price class do. The ones I checked
        did not.
	
	One can monitor the signal quality by typing ATSQ when connected. 
	The Scout then prints out a value between 0 (lowest) to 7 (highest)
	six times each second.

        Testing the fax software was easy. The Scout is compatible with 98%
        of fax machines installed at 9600 bps or less and Group 3. The software
        was easy to install and the first fax sent to a machine across
        town came out crisp. I then checked the receive side by faxing a
        letter with MCIMail's fax option to myself. I printed it out and
        again the first try worked. This was done under DOS 3.3 on an XT
        class machine.

        7. USES

	How does one call under severly impaired line conditions? Here is an
        an example calling to JV Dialogue in Moskow via direct dialing from 
	Palo Alto, CA.

  	Created : 05-12-1992
	
	I use V.32 with fallback to 4800 bps, because this protocol requires
	only 16 dbm signal-to-noise. It is not often that one can get through
	to Moskow, and when I do I want to be sure to connect. Then, if the
	line is clear, the modem can initiate a fall forward. Zmodem file
	transfer speeds to Moskow are usually 550 to 600 cps.

        9. OTHER DIGICOM PRODUCTS

        9624 Plus series of V.32bis modems. They are offered in internal,
        external and in rack mounts with 16 modems per standard 19" rack.

        The 9624 Plus has been reviewed well in magazine tests:

        PC Week, April 29, 1991        Digicom was Analyst choice (the only)

        PC Week, November 19, 1990     Digicom is the only modem which gets
                                       five "good" rankings

        PC Digest Ratings Report Vol 5, 21
                                       Digicom is the only modem to get
                                       five stars, before USR and Forval

        Digicom pioneered modem DSP technology which allowed them the
        flexibility to be the first manufacturer to include send-receive
        fax in a V.32bis modem. They were also the first manufacturer to
	get a V.32bis modem to market. Since they develop the modem chipset
	in house, the speed and flexibility is higher than vendors who
	buy chipsets elsewhere like e.g. Hayes Microcomputers, which uses
	the Phylon chipsets, based on the TI DSP.

	Expect other 'firsts' from Digicom in the near future.

        The FT1 from Digicom is a fractional T1 DSU/CSU which is used on
        digital telephone circuits for line speeds between 64,000 bps up
        to 1,536,000 bps in increments of 64,000 bps.
