Actually, top DTE of the modem is 57600 bps.  That's what I have my serial
port locked at.  (Of course I am running it on an A3000...;-)

I'd recommend an init string of AT&F2S11=50S95=47.

&F2    - Resets modem to factory defaults. (starts off with a happy medium)
S11=50 - Speeds up dialing.
S95=47 - Enable _ALL_ extended connection messages.
         CARRIER xxxxx = DTE Speed. (Computer to Modem speed)
         PROTOCOL:     = Type of Error Correction.
         COMPRESSION:  = Type of Compression.
         CONNECT xxxxx = DCE Speed with /ARQ appended if error correction
                         enabled. (Modem to Modem speed)

This was because the modem has ATW0 set as default.  This reports CONNECT
xxxxx as your DTE speed.  (Computer to Modem speed)


Quite a nice little modem.  I've had mine since April of this year.  One of
the first ones in this area..  I've had tons of time to use the modem so
that init string above is the one I've found best for BBS's.

In my terminal program (JR-Comm) I set the dial prefix to
AT&F2L2&D1%E1S1150S95=47DT and have my serial port locked at 57600.  I have
the alternate prefixes as:

#1: AT&F0&C1&D1%E1NS11=50S95=47DT
#2: AT&F2&D1&E1NS11=50S37=9S95=47DT
#3: AT&F2&D1%E1NS11=50S37=10S95=47DT

#1 Is what I use for 2400 bps connections.  I make sure that my serial
   port is set at 2400 and have Dial Prefix #1 checked.  This also works
   for Compression-free straight 4800 and 9600 bps connections.  Just set
   your serial port accordingly, and the modem will use the speed that your
   serial port is set at.  (I haven't tried anything above 9600 like this...)

#2 Is what I use for forced 9600 bps connections.  This is useful for
   calling over _really_ noisy phone lines.  (i.e. trying to connect with
   Supra's BBS.  ;-)

#3 Is what I use for forced 12000 bps connections.  This is useful for
   lines with moderate line noise that cannot reliably handle 14400 bps
   connections.


If you'll notice, I make sure that &D1 is set in all my dial strings.  This
allows my modem to remain on line if my machine crashes.  I can then just
reboot and reload JR-Comm, type "ATO" and boom!  I'm still on the BBS.  I
_ONLY_ recommend this for calling out, though.  Make sure your modem is set
with &D2 when operating a BBS or a UUCP node.

I hope this helps folks with their Supras.  Try not to mess with the &Kx or
\Nx strings.  (At least until the v1.200-G ROMs are available)  I have
found that messing with these settings can really make things difficult for
people trying to connect to you.
