Well, one possibility is that the HST doesn't support it.  Not all HST
Duals are v.32bis.  A large number of them are only v.32 even though they
have 14.4k HST they're only 9600 when connecting to CCITT (?) protocols.

And if THAT's not the problem (you can tell a v.32bis Dual from a v.32bis
Dual by the initial tone it makes when it answers, BTW.. 9600 is a steady
tone and the v.32bis has a bit of a 'warble' to it.. or perhaps I'm
imagining it?) then its probably just that v.32bis is more sensitive to
line noise and sometimes a 14.4k connect will fail but dropping down
to 9600 (more noise tolerant) works.  ATNS37=9 I believe to force 9600
only.

There seems to be some confusion about the generic version of GPFax. Our 
agreement with Supra SAYS they shall sell the 'generic' version through
their 'normal' distribution channels.

If the generic version is not available through 'normal channels' please let us
know.  From our sales figures from Supra they are selling the generic version
so I do not know what the problems is.

If dealers have trouble buying from Supra they can buy direct from us.

RRP is $159 (AUSTRALIAN$  AUS$=0.65US)  We add $10 airmail $45 courier.

Discounts are available for bulk purchases.

If anyone has any specific problems please contact me direct at

Summary: what are the best settings

Hi all,
  I recently got an HST Courier Dual Standard and I love it. It has given
me 0 headaches as compared to my never working Supra 14.4.  I do have a
question, though.  What are the best settings to use for the HST side?  I
have heard most people get 1650-1750 cps but I can only get 1300-1350 and
that is about 12.0 instead of 14.4.  I know the line is perfect cause I
just had it fixed.  Could someone please tell me what I should make my
settings so I can get the max cps out of it?  Thanks in advance!

I have a brand new US Robotics ("Dual Standard") 14.4K Baud Sportster modem for 
sale.  Used for less than one month (yes, only one month).  Modem sale will 
include everything that originally came with the modem, in it's original new 
condition. I am offering this modem for $400 (o.b.o.), the price that I originally 
purchased it for. The reason I am selling this is becuase I later found out that I 
could upgrademy HST to a Dual standard for cheap, after I purchased this modem. 
Price is firm, please send all requests to koolkid@u.washington.edu.

 
                                         Thanks,

Note:  This modem contains the Supervisor v4.1 ROMS, which means that you
could connect to practically all modems and modem protocals in existance.
And for the uninformed, this modem has undocumented Dual Standard Features.

I have it running (well limping is probably a better description) on
an HP 9000/710 under HPUP 8.07.  I had heard a bit about it and thought
it looked ineteresting, but I didn't know that it would be 'difficult'
to port.  So I didn't keep records of what I did...  Basically I just
started to try and compile it, and when I hit a road block did the
quickest, dirtiest thing I could think of.  The main things that I
remember doing were adding #include <curses.h> and <sgtty.h> all over
the place, digging out some values for some of the TIO includes (that
are present, but #ifdef'd out in the system include files) and hard
coding them.  Finally code that still didn't seem to want to work was
simply commented out :)  Incredibly once I got a clean compile it
sort of worked, especially if you telnet back to the machine you 
log into (the formatting gets fixed by this).  Right now I consider
it more of a curiosity than anything else, if I get a chance to clean
it up, and people are interested, I will mail the unix end of stuff
to people.

I read that somewhere, too, but when I called Supra they said that they had
an internal version for the IBM PC only. Now that was some weeks ago also, 
and they might have come out with a card since then. The person I spoke to
didn't know whether an internal Amiga version was planned.

I am very interested as well in the following regarding DNet:

	ARexx port added (then scripts for auto-dial/login could be handled).
	Necessary files and/or changes to existing ones in the distribution
	so it will compile well under SAS C 6.x.

I've found that I need to set the maximum window size on the sz process to
2048 to avoid these errors.   Try this: "sz -w 2048 <filelist>".  If that
doesn't work, you might have to do a handshake every 1K to keep things

"sz -l 1024 <filelist>"  Good luck!
