I'm assuming that the PPI guys did it the way we do it at Hayes,
which is that when the modem is powered-up or reset, it assumes the
DTE speed is whatever speed was used to issue the last "AT&W"
command to write to non-volatile memory.  The &W command stores the
speed and parity along with the parameter settings.  It sounds like
the last &W command was issued at 19200 on the modems you got; you
can make them answer with a 38400 DTE speed by issuing an &W command
to them at 38400.
 
I'll forward your message to the guys at PPI, so they can check the
factory procedures and be sure they're setting the modems to 38400
before they get shrink-wrapped.

Yes. And some brave souls clip the legs off the 16450, unsolder (carefully!)
the stubs that remain and install a socket.

>By the way, what's the big diff. between a 450 and 550A?

The only real difference is that the 16550A has a 16-byte buffer on
both the send and receive. The 16450 only keeps the *last* byte. So if you
don't fetch it before the next one comes in, it's gone...

This makes no sense at all.  An internal modem still has to talk to
the computer, and it does so by having a UART or UART emulator.  In
any case, the communications software still has to service it for
every character.  If the modem doesn't have more than that one
character buffer, you're going to be interrupting the computer over
1500 times a second for a V.32bis/V.42bis connection (about 1700 cps
with pre-packed data).  You still have the bottleneck.  

This is one reason to avoid internal versions of all those cheapo
V.32bis modems if you have any interest in multitasking - most of them
just emulate a 16450.

I tried it and got about 1900cps but I have had serious problems getting
a WorldBlazer in Sunnyvale and a WorldBlazer in NY communicate with a
TrailBlazer Plus in Pakistan (whereas a Trailblazer in NY to the Trailblazer
in Pakistan worked and worked better!!)

Thwe line conditions were AS GOOD AS in a call from NY to LA or Sunnyvale
but the throughput was about 150 and sometimes even 90cps

I was getting more than that TB+ to TB+ :-(

I have not seen a single com program that knows about the 82510 - and
that includes Telx, Telemate, QModem, Crosstalk, and a bunch of

Hi netters.
My suprafaxmodem acts weird from time to time.  Whenever it notices some
noise on the line, such as someone picked up the phone or something, it
fallbacks to 12000 or 9600bps, and then it freezes.  I guess it still receives
the data because I could still see what the other end is doing, but I can't
type anything.  I still can shell out doing +++ but when I get back with
ATO, it's still locked up.  I thought they got rid of those kind of problems
in 1.300C ROM version which is what I have.  Does anybody else experience 
that problem too?  My init string is, by the way, AT&F2.  very simple..:)
Someone please answer my question.
Thanks!

The buffers aren't of any use except with software that *knows*
about them. And such software will enable the buffers as needed.

Greetings, modemians.

Can anyone tell me what Hayes settings I should use to get my modem to dial
the German telephone system?  I have a 2400 baud modem, but unfortunately I
don't know yet what speed I'll be connecting at.  

Specifically, what should &G and &P be set to?  Should I use Pulse or Tone
dialing?  Is there anything else I ought to know?

Please respond directly to me (ssc92isa01@rcnvms.rcn.mass.edu) as I am not

Thanks in advance, and apologies for any vital info I may have omitted.

Well, this may or may not be true.
But let's suppose that there is a terminal server between you and the
host. It may well NOT be 8-bit transparent. It not, you can play all
day with translate tables. A better solution is to use a protocol that
will work over 7 bit wide paths.

the first step would be to upgrade from Procomm 2.01 to 2.4.2 or

From the one site I connect with that has a WorldBlazer, I average
2020cps (receive) using uucp g with spoofing turned on.  Using uucp
f with spoofing off, I average 2200cps.  This on a standard COM2 port
with 16550 UART.

The old AT&T crossbar exchanges (an electromechanical CO that replaced
the step-by-step switches in the 1950s) could accept rotary dialing
at 20 PPS.  Newer exchanges want to see about 8 to 11 PPS with a break
ratio of 58 to 64%.

Strange, I thought dial tone and busy detection work without
problems in the US and the only country where you have problems
with these features is Germany. Many cities in Germany are still
using analog and mechanical telephone equipment, so there are
many different busy signals.

But my Supra has suprised me. It identifies every busy signal and
every dial tone. Maybe Supra optimized their new modems for
Germany? Only 1% of my call fail because the modem detects a busy but
there is none.

        - 16,800bps speed (ZyXEL proprietary mode)

>the line should be?  Please, this is the second time I have posted
>concerning this subject, somebody answer me!!!

two suggestions: first, is the phone cable plugged into the correct
jack? i hope that doesn't sound condescending, but the few times that i've
had to screw around with my cabling, i've almost invariably swapped the
line that goes to the wall with the line that goes from supra to phone.
you'll get dead air if you have them swapped.

the other thing to check is that you have the &C command set properly.
if you tell the faxmodem to always have data-carrier-on, it can confuse
your term software into thinking its already connected somewhere, thus,
it won't dial out.

just a stab in the dark....

Us English dont use different plugs in different places, we have one type
of plug - 3 pins in a triangular configuration - the actual pins are 
rectangular. The only reason why mains appliances dont come with fitted
plus is because there is no legal requirement for them to do so unlike
many other countries. henceforth export manufacturers just leave the plug
off to save costs and leave it to the consumer to fit it.

This is to change soon when a new law is brought in making it illegal to
sell an electrical appliance without a fitted mains plug - because some
people wire them up wrongly blowing themselves up in the process.

What kind of protocol does the 16800 use? Is it compatible with anything on
this planet?

(I think I'll buy a Zyxel any minute now)
