I filled out a PR for a Digicom V32.bis modem, and gave it to my boss.

Instead, he gives me a Hayes 1200. Thrills...

So I scrounged a Cermetek 2400. I've got a list of the dip switches,
but could use a list of any non-standard {standard - which one?}
registers. 

Anyone got a manual for this gem?

You might want to consider that the connection may be the problem.
We've recently had a problem with inter-office trunks between two
exchanges here - the result being that I can call most anywhere
fine from either location, but location b can't call location a
much of the time.  The problem has to do with multiplexing of
calls between the offices, and the equipment not being in sync
properly.  When the carrier slips a bit, each call suffers a 
phase shift - really ruins modem calls 1200 and up that use phase
encoding as part of the modulation scheme..

The real point here being, you should try some other modems on
these lines, or try calling between these same two modems on
some different lines (in different exchanges, or in the same
exchange), before you blame the supras.  

Then again, it might be the supras <g>.

The Plus models will also do "CELP" voice compression for voice-mail... a far
more conservative method when it comes to disk space.

In addition, the PLUS models have a faster micro-processor (16 mhz - 68000),
and have on-board RAM to take care of weak/marginal circuits so that retrains
are not a frequent.

Organization: SCRI, Florida State University


[Not sure if comp.dcom.servers is appropriate...]

I've got a situation in which some Supra 14400 modems (pretty much all
at level 1.200H) are attached to a Telebit Netblazer (running Fred
1.5).  They're set pretty standard, with &F2, autoanswer on one ring,
and at 57600 baud.  Works just fine about 95% of the time.  Nice
combination, actually!

The rest of the time, however, at seemingly random times and following
no pattern that I can discern, any attempts to connect to a given line
results in garbage on that line.  And at any speed.  Using any modem.
It appears that the handshaking (i.e. modem reinitialization) between
the netblazer and the modem resulted in the netblazer holding it's
speed at 57600, and the modem running at a lower speed.  And it can be
fixed using the netblazer "reset lineXX" command twice (it drops dtr,
raises it, sends an "ATE0V0\nATI0" and looks for the 14400 returned by
the modem, and then reinitializes the modem).  Sometimes, it doesn't
get either 14400 or 0, and the only thing I can figure is that the
baud rate of the modem has changed.

My guess is that this has to be similar to what happens on BBS's 
using Supra's.   Anyone seen anything similar?    Anyone have a 
"modemcap.txt" so I can check out you're supra initialization 
section?  Anyone have any other guesses???

Thanks.

Hello, I am having trouble making modem connections on a Sun
SparcStation 2.  The syptoms are that whenever I try to login to the
sparc over the modem line (setup in accordance with SUNs
documentation) often (not always) the modem connected to the sparc
will answer - connect - then disconnect.  I never see the login
prompt.

After reading several news posts I changed the gettytab on the sparc
to this:

(entry for std.2400)
	:sp=#2400:p8:ms=crtscts:

(actually, I just added the p8 and crtscts part the rest of the file
is just as shipped by sun)

This didn't seem to help.  Changing the gettytab only changes the port
for incoming calls - what 'mode' does the sparc dial out as? (ie. 7E1,
8N1, ??) what controls the dial-out mode?  I am trying to get UUCP
working and to support dial-in and dial-out.  When the calls succeed
things seem to work ok (mail is transferred and other things happen).

BTW: I am dialing from one sparc to another - both setup with the same
modem and same config files.

I have some knowledge of Unix - little knowledge of modems.  Any help
would be appreciated.  Thank you.

V.32bis is a CCITT specification for high-speed modem communication in terms of the
actual signals sent over the phone line.  If I recall correctly, it allows 14.4Kbps,
7.2Kbps or anything V.32 allows.

V.42bis is a compression & error correction scheme that layers on top of the physical
channel (V.32bis, V.32, V.22, etc.)

You certainly can do V.42bis in software for a non-V.42bis modem - I believe that 
Apple does something very similar to V.42bis in their Apple Remote Access software 
for the Macintosh.  I can't see *how* you could do V.32bis with a non-V.32bis modem.

Thank you.  I couldn't see how this guy's arguments could hold water.
How does tying the Telepath into the sale of a Gateway computer mean
they're coerscing me into buying a product I may or may not want (I
own a Gateway, btw)?  I'll just go find another modem.  Personally, I
didn't want the Telepath.

And their ads always said that add-on products were new or existing

EVEREX is the current (always ?) vendor supporting the Abaton InterFax.
The current version of s/w is 1.3 (unless you need the European version in
which case it is 1.3E). EVEREX is planning at least one more s/w upgrade at

I am looking for an FTP site for source code to a driver for a Class 2
FAX modem. I'm purchasing a FAX/modem and would like to be able to use
the facilities under my own OS (QNX 2 and 4) and provide the facility to
send faxes for my BBS users.

If anyone can help me locate one, i'd much appreciate it!

I spoke to Telebit's Tech Support last week about this very issue.  I was
told that the FAX upgrade wouldn't be shipping until the 20th or so, and
that it would include V7.00 ROM's.
