Robert, make sure the S37 register on the Twincom is enabling 14,400 bps

with ATI1. The second number should be 2624 to alleviate connection

Yes, you'd think so, seeing G is before J in the alphabet.  I've never seen

1.2J is the FREE upgrade Rom.  There is a 1.2H or something with caller-id

This would imply a DTE speed of 357,140 bps.  Do the Multitech modems
have an Ethernet interface?  This also implies compression of about
21:1 by V.42bis.  I'm surprised modem manufacturers advertise the lowly

One very handy application for caller ID is with bulletin boards, or any other
dial in system.  By using caller ID, the system can determine if you are 
calling from your normal location, thus minimizing hacking by preventing 
them from calling from various other places.  I have never seen this
application of caller-ID, but I have thought about implementing it into a BBS
for use in verifying users' phone numbers.

The Telepath supports V.42 and MNP 2-4 error correction, and
V.42bis and MNP5 data compression.

The UART is a 16c450.  I have my DTE set to be 57,600 bps and
under Windows see xfer rates of about 1500 - 1600 cps on compressed
files and upto 4000 cps on uncompressed files (varies with the
file).

The modem works really well - with one exception.  It will not
send a "break".  Gateway is working on a firmware fix for this.
However sending a break may not be of importance to you.  If it is
important, it is still possible to send a break by escaping to
the command state, issuing "at\b" - which sends a 300 ms break, and
then issuing "ato" to return online.

Regards,

Ashok

And then you give one side ATD (dial, with no number) and you give
the other side ATA (answer, which turns on the answer tones). Sometimes
you may need to change the X value if it won't dial without a DIAL TONE.

Works OK. Slower than a direct link, but the modular cable can be
quite long which is sometimes useful.

*WRONG*

as has been said many, many times on this group, V.42 error control
(and MNP3, too) strips off the start/stop bits from the data stream.
so, while it is true that there are 10 bits/character between the
computer and the modem, there are only 8 bits/character between modems.
for V.32bis, that's 1800 cps.  once you take overhead into account, you
end up with a maximum *RAW THROUGHPUT* of around 1724 cps.  thats
*WITHOUT* data compression.  overhead for your file transfer protocol
drops that by another 2 to 3 percent (if, of course, you're transferring
files at the time).

the number you show above, 1650 cps, indicates that you are not seeing
any data compression (as we all know is the case with ZIP files, etc.).
that, btw, is around the average I normally see here, too (I get between
1650 and 1700 cps on average w/ Zmodem and compressed files).

V.42bis does do great things with compressing text, etc. --- I usually
see throughputs of around 2600 to 2700 cps on plain text files, but
that's another issue....

oh, just to answer the question before it's asked:  all file transfer
rates I mention are for large files --- we all know that transfer stats
for small files are unreliable, at best....  I generally like to use a
file that's at least several minutes worth of transfer time for a
reliable number.

    Have any of you (a) Had experience with AMT International's STAR
    9600 internal modem and its quirky slow (or no) hangup at speeds
    higher than 2400? (b) Found a fix for same?

This inexpensive V.32/V.42 unit works wonderfully except for this
aggrevation. It will cling to the line after carrier loss, after return to
dial tone and even through the Tip/Ring reversal the telco sends to try
to get stuff off the line. Manually entering one or more ATH(0) commands
is the only way to disconnect. Calls by myself and others to the company
have resulted in suggestions that do not seem to make any difference.
(Curiously, we have all been given _different_ fixes.)

        It uses the AT command set and is probably sold under other
        brand names, so any suggestions based on experience are
        gratefully solicited.  Thanks in advance.

   Your message suggests that you'd want this for an IP connection; my 
understanding is that IP can make use of multipath connections, so getting 
56kb throughput from several V.32bis lines in parallel should be possible.

   I don't know if the distribution of IP datagrams over multiple outbound 
paths is automatic based on line loading, and I have never heard of software 
which would open more dialup IP connections as existing ones saturate.

   That would be a *nifty* arrangement, though I doubt that IP providers would 
be thrilled by the widely varying equipment usage.

   I'd also be interested in hearing about switching modems from ACU/getty

v 2.11) without any problems...  then we got Telebit modems to move into
the 90s.  If I don't set the port speed with Alt-P then send a
Cltr-Break I'm almost guaranteed a lockup if it is anything other than
the default (init) speed of 9600bps.  I've developed the habit of typing
Alt-P, C, Enter, Ctrl-Break before dialing any 2400 bps numbers now.

If someone has a "real" workaround to this let me know.

	Will 115200 DTE hurt anything though?

	With everyone's experiences out there, can we not pool
the knowledge and get things 'stable' though?  Get the max out
of the modems that is available for the different vendors?  Like,
what *is* the max for my Worldblazer?  What does it take to
get that max?

Please, in my opinion every data compression requires error free connections.
And there's no modem I know using V.42bis/MNP5 without LAPM/MNP4.
