 too bad Spydie.. I knew you should have dropped the $$$ for a USR, or at

 Hi Ray,

 the Delrina Dosfax and Winfax programs, as well as Qmodem. If you slide

No, they've merely been taking legal action against violators of their
patent, as is their right.  Both the patent and Hayes' charges of
infringement have been upheld in court.  If you disagree with those
decisions, then place the blame where it belongs.

That might have been true years ago (I always thought the SmartModem 300
and 1200 were very overpriced) but their recent products have been pretty
competitive in pricing.  Check out their Optima line.

Actually, the only marketing I've seen Toby doing here is posting
occasional Hayes press releases.  Some folks don't like that, but
others (such as me) have requested that the press releases continue to
appear here, so long as they have a modicum of informational content.

Otherwise, Toby has been the most reliable source of technical
information in the newsgroup, as well as our closest contact to
various CCITT standard bodies.  Participation in these bodies--which
isn't cheap and is often a chore--is most assuredly a way to advance
modem technology.

Now I would need to do the same to the setup of NXFaxMonitor (or somewhere

Do I need to create a local profile on my modem and modify the UUCP config

How can I get the <0W> sequence prepended to the fax number (inset on the

I have a document that I ftp'd which is titles "Support Commands for voice
mode operation".  Is that the document you are refering to?  I looked
through it and the only reference to XON/XOFF is that it say to terminate
the RX data command send any character other than XON/XOFF.  I guess this
could be a vague way of saying that hardware handshaking does not work.

So, if I have to use XON/XOFF how do I send binary data in voice mode?
Does the modem ignore XON/XOFF while receiving voice data from the host?

If you have a different document than the one I have could you mail me
a copy?

I just implemented my crude-but-effective solution to periodic modem
lockup.  I have some NEC 9635s and a Telebit TrailBlazer that sometimes
lose their marbles, but are fine after a power-cycle.  So I went down to
the hardware store and bought a 24-hour timer, and set it to turn the
power off at 3 A.M., and back on a little later.

I prefer the electro-mechanical timers to the digital ones, because they're
immune to noise and spikes.

Now I don't have to baby-sit my modems every morning, and can have a
cup of coffee instead.

Only one of the systems I regularly connect to is running a Zoom 14.4, and
it does _not_ connect at 14.4 to at least two other brands of modems (my
Practical Peripherals and a friend's Intel).  I don't know whether the
internal one has the same difficulties, but you should be aware of that
potential glitch in the v.32bis implementation.

(If anyone in the S. Jersey area wants to see if the Zoom in question will
connect to _their_ modem at 14.4, the number's 609 778 5572 - I'm curious
as to which brands work with which.)

Well, it turns out that the 16550 UART is necessary at any higher speeds,
and my old communications software (Procomm+ 1.1b) doesn't support the
16550 (pcplus 1.1b came out in 1988).  I also tried Procomm+ 2.0 which
does have 16550 support but it loves to lock up with the PM14400FX. 
Procomm+ 2.01 probably works better (I haven't tried it), but I'm now using
Telix 3.20, which works flawlessly!  I've got it wide open at the moment at
57600 bps, and not a hiccup.  Those of you who are having similar
dropped-character problems with this modem might consider trying a
different communications program as well.  It sure worked for me...

Many thanks to those who responded to my query (especially Rick up in Canada)

Cheers!

Look at the AT&T modems as well.  Very solid build pieces of

Hopefully, we should have a pair of these modems soon.

Weeeellll... I have a brand spanking new 14.4FX internal (except that it had
1.15m ROM's - sigh) and it is about 85% ok so far.  I have no trouble 
connecting to USR's, other PPI 14.4's, or whatever it is the local internet
machine uses (the latter is only V.32, tho).  I can push about 1680 cps on
downloads and 1620 on uploads with Zmodem, and a similar speed on Ymodem-G
downloads.  However, I still haven't been able to make it do Ymodem-G uploads
to the HST's, and the internet machine won't accept uploads at ANY speed, even
2400 with EC and compression disabled and my local port locked at 2400.  I have
not tried other than originate mode so far, as I don't run a BBS.

The current modem setup is just the AT&F1 defaults.  To connect to old 2400's,
I use AT&Q6; for others, the default AT&Q5 works well.  So far, only one system
supposedly capable of V.32bis has posed a problem - the other modem recognizes
my error correction but insists on connecting at 2400 bps.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.  The defaults entail local CTS/RTS (the 
port is locked at 57600, its maximum), XON/XOFF provided by the comm
software (Qmodem 4.52TD), V.42, V.42bis, MNP5 if applicable.  The modem
on the internet machine is connected to a port locked at 38400, and it
presumably uses XON/XOFF (since that is what I use during sessions other than
downloading).  I am using locally compiled rz/sz, rb/sb, and rx/sx on the 
internet machine connected to my local implementations in Qmodem.

I haven't used the modem enough to make a recommendation for shoppers, but
the first one I got was defective (so said tech support).  The box looked
like it might have gotten smushed in transit, though.  The second one connected
right out of the box after I set AT&F1 as per the manual.  This local line is
fairly noisy, so I find the connect abilities rather impressive.  Tech
support was prompt and polite, and they tried about everything I could think
of short of shuffling the cards in the machine (the modem card is a bit wide;
I had to rearrange my cards to get it in).  They are usually around until
12:30 AM my time, so I can't complain.  I just wish it were an 800 number :-).
I like the built-in 16550 UART especially, since I am a heavy Desqview user.
I haven't had occasion to use the FAX, but the software looks like a standard,
cryptic <g> package for anyone not acquainted with modems in general.

You can query the modem for the firmware version with the ATI0

The 1496E uses 1MBit EPROMs for firmware 5.0 or above (512kBit for
versions below). 5.04 does only (to my knowledge) fix one minor
problem when connecting to HST modems.

I have, BTW, used 16.8 already under OS/2 and it works fine (I have a
16550). I use C-Kermit 5A for all communications.

>	Bitfax with the ZyXel ?

Forget all DOS fax software. I use PMFax (now called Faxworks/2?) very
successfully with the ZyXEL 1496E+. The PMFax readme file even
mentiones it as being tested (and one needs to put a special command
for it in one of the config boxes for receiving faxes).

Bitfax works with class 1 (sierra send/recv) modems, while the ZyXEL
is a class 2 fax modem.

Don't know of any that works with the ZyXEL, PMFax is a commercial
one. If you want to write one yourself, the ZyXEL modem has a
proprietary FAX mode which is very easy to program, see the chapter
13, page 2, "Extended Fax AT Commands".
