Quoting from the manual itself, the "Principal LCD Display Panel Messages":

Answering...		ARQ			Bong!		
Busy			Canceled		Carrier [Speed]
Cmd Mode		Compress [OFF/ON]	Connect [Speed]
Dialing			Dialtone		Disconnect
Failed			Far Ring [count]	Handshaking
Lcl Loop		Lcl Digital		Grant RDL
Deny RDL		Rem Digital		RDL w/ Test
Lcl Analog		Mode [connect mode]	Negotiating
No Answer		No Carrier		No Dialtone
Off-Hook		Online			Pause
Ptcl [Protocol]		Quality [quality]	Rcv Train
Ready			Ring [count]		Test OK
Waiting			Wait Quiet		Xmt Train

On Carrier [DCE], the speed can be 300-14.4.  On Connect [DTE] the speed can
be 300-57.6.  Compress ON can indicate either MNP/5 or V.42bis.  Far Ring and
Ring counts are simply counts... Mode can be 103 [Bell 103J], 212 [Bell 212B],
V.21, V.22, V.22bis, V.32, V.32T [with Trellis encoding], or V.32bis.  Ptcl
can be V.42, V.42bis, MNP/4, or MNP/5.  Quality can be High, Med, or Low, based
on the V.32/V.32bis signal quality indicator.

Currently, my modem is cycling through the following messages:
	Online
	Mode V.32
	Carrier 9600
	Ptcl V.42LAPM
	Compress Off
	Connect 19.2
	Quality High

In regard to the retrains - the modem will display Rcv Train or Xmt Train for
at least as long as it takes to negotiate the retrain [in cycle with the other
messages, though I'm not sure which one it replaces in the cycle].

Recently I posted information concerning a problem I was having
in getting my Worldblazer<--->AT486-DX50 working at speeds over
19200 even though hardware flow was enabled. 

Several people returned mail to me personally (thank you by the way)
asking what UART my serial board was using.  Further that I should be
using the National 16550AFN part.

I recently popped the hood of my PC setup (just hate disconnecting all
those cables!) and took a look at my serial board.

The board is a Goldstar Model CA8201/CA8202 containing 2 serial,
1 parallel, and 1 game port.  Examination of the three large chips
indicate the following information (or really stamping)

One chip:	Goldstar GMI6C450
		9218

Second chip:	Goldstar GMI6C450
		9220

Third Chip:	HM82C11C
		9210A

The one chip SEEMS socketed bu the other is soldered in.  I am right
to assume that the board has 2 UART chips (i.e. the two Goldstar chips)?

Second, why kinda of job is it to replace this.  I am not a hardware
type of person (not a really great solderer).  

Is there another option that I am missing.  Like getting a real serial/
parallel/game combination?  Suggestions? 

Cost of either option?

Thanks.  I really appreciate a reply to this mailbox directly if possible.

I have tested quite a few modems during our fax software testing and have
found nothing but problems with either BUSY detection or VOICE detection.
It seems most fax/modem cards return BUSY when they hear speaking.  WHICH
MAKES FOR A BAD RETURN CODE.  If the line is busy I will retry it X times
but if they return voice I abort the fax.  So they get lots of calls
until someone wises up.  Oh well.

You're confusing the layers.  Asynchronous serial communications require
a means of telling where a data packet begins and where it ends.  Hence,
two bits: a start bit and a stop bit.  You can have more than two bits
(some people a long time ago decided that, for whatever reason, VERY SLOW
machines needed 2 stop bits and one start bit), but why bother?  v.42
strips the overhead bits for you.  If you have that protocol on your modem,
great.  Otherwise, you live with additional overhead.

Howdy.  Here's a question for Quick Link II FAX users from Smith Micro.

I bought a Viva 14.4 FAX/Modem and was using the communication software
Quick Link II FAX (QL2FAX) that came with it.  Everything works, but
the terminal emulator is very slow.  From the way the screen scrolls
you can't tell whether it's a 14.4 connection or just a 2400 connection,
although the modem does say:

	CARRIER: 14400
	PROTOCAL: LAMP
	COMPRESSION: V42bis
	CONNECT: 57600

Our school's modem is also 14.4 V42bis, and when I tried ProComm Plus
it's much faster.  I wonder if any other users have the same problem. 
What could be the cause?  I guess QL2FAX's terminal emulator is just
lousy?  Also, the version I have doesn't even have zmodem.  Has anyone
seen zmodem in QL2FAX?  I would like to use QL2FAX b/c it looks like it 
handles FAX-sending and receiving in a fairly decent way.

Thanks for any responses.  --Pinghua

  I've bought a Supra FaxModem V.32bis for 3 months.  By now, it's very great
modem as its price.  I used it for dial-out before, and it work fine very well
except too line sensitive.  Yesterday I use it as my dial-in terminal, and I
found my USR sportster v.32bis can't connect it reliably.  The handshaking tone
is over and over.  I've never met it before, and the sportster work very well.
The local dealer told me that the sportster is CCITT apporved.  Does the Supra
doesn't follow the CCITT V.42bis standard?  Or something I missed for the 
parameter?  My Supra is 1.200C ROM, and the dial-in parameter is AT&F2&D1E0Q1

Mine does have 16.8k it has a huge sticker on the box that says NOW WITH
VOICE and "ULTRA HIGH SPEED 16.8k" Capability. I have connected to the
support BBS and it says connect 16.8/ Zyx. Where are you getting your modem

and they said "The U-1496E ROM v5.02 M is shipping with built in voice

I'd recommend Supra.  I've had one for several months now and it's
worked great...and with the old ROMs, no less!  (It's had a couple of
minor problems, but they should be fixed once the new ROMs arrive.
Newer modems are built, of course, with the newer ROMs.)

It does class 1 and class 2 fax, but I don't have fax software for my
clone...I don't know how well that end of the modem works, but it'll
send/receive faxes at 14.4K.

Fine, but just what are the chances that the original questioner has a
modem which supports Bell 202?  Nobody claimed it couldn't be done given
the right hardware.  But it can be said with near-certainty that someone
who bought a modem in the past decade or so which supports 1200bps
operation will have Bell 212A but /not/ Bell 202 capability.  The
exception would be modems like Zyxel and Supra which have support
specifically designed for caller-ID.

This is strange since Supra says they have not implemented it yet. It is just
written on the boxes and on some modem cases, if that's what makes you say it
is supported.

Next question: are the current Supra modems now shipping with the 1.2J ROMs,
or the 1.2H ROMs? Or is Supra doing an "unbundling" thing like they did with
the FAX software - selling a stripped-down version, a version with the FAX
software, and now a version with the Caller*ID ROM (plus assorted 
combinations)?

I'm on the verge of ordering a Supra, but want to be sure I get the latest and
greatest. ;-)
