I was in the market for a modem recently and a friend of mine suggested
BFJ as a good place to look locally.  When I mentioned to him that I had
been unable to get them on the phone, he said, "Yah, I went by there at
lunch the other day and the store is empty.  There is a sign on the door
that say's they're remodelling, but ..."

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but it may help you
decide on your next step.  I will ask my friend to check on them
occasionally and will report what I hear.

Hello Everyone,

I have just steped up to a 14.4 modem from my old 24.  I find that it is
great calling out, but I am having a difficult time getting it to answer
for my BBS.

It is a V32bis TurboModem from TheComplete PC.

The &V command provides this information:

B1 E1 L2 M1 Q0 V1 X4 Y0 &C1 &D2 &G0 &L0 &M0 &O0 &P0 &R0 &S0 &X0 &Y0 %D1 %L012

S16:07H s18:000 S21:30H S22:76H S23:15H S25:005 S26:001 S27:00H S28:10H

The BBS Software issues ATA<CR> when it detects a ring.

I have been told of two responses:  The first is that NOTHING happens after
connect, and the other is some garbage on the screen.  It reportedly
connects at 14400, 9600/V42Bis, and lower, but it never shows any valuable
data on the caller's screen.

If you can give any advice, I would greatly appreciate it.  However, my
news feed is about 3 days behind, so I would appreciate if you would email
me directly.

						Thanks,

On my two ZyXEL U-1496E's, bought at different times, the serial numbers
on the board and the case are also widely different.  Zero One obviously
uses a different numbering scheme for motherboard and assembly, and
probably has a database of pairs of numbers.

Organization: UMCC

I just got my Digicom Scout Plus and seem to be having a little
trouble getting it set up.  The factory default is to have the modem
try to connect at 14,400 and automatically downshift to whatever the
receiving modem can handle.  That works fine, and I get a connect, but
the modem still thinks it is connected at 14,400.  I have to escape to
command mode and manually change the modem rate setting so that I can
communicate with whatever I am communicating with.

This doesn't sound right to me so I'm guessing that it's operator
error.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Summary: ZyXEL: serious serial # questions!!!
Organization: Dept. of CS, Middle TN State Univ, Murfreesboro, TN
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 1992 17:17:06 GMT

Hello!
   I just received a new (maybe) ZyXEL U-1496E (external) modem
direct from Zero One Networking yesterday.  Out of curiosity,
I took the top off of it to have a look at what was inside.
To my surprise, I found that the SERIAL NUMBER ON THE OUTSIDE
CASE WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE ONE ON THE INSIDE BOARD!
The serial number on all of the paperwork which came with the
modem was that on the outside case.  This seems unusual to me,
so I called Zero One Networking about it.  They told me that
this was normal, and not to be concerned with it.  Yet questions
remain unanswered.  What is to stop an individual or a
corporation that owns several of these modems to send an old,
broken, out of warranty modem board back for warranty repairs
in a modem case that is still covered under the warranty? 
I can't believe that no one at Zero One hasn't thought of this.
I must therefore conclude that this situation exists because
it is somehow to their advantage.  The only thing that I can
think of is that it gives them the opportunity to sell old, 
used, repaired modem boards as new modems put into new cases!
If this is true, it is outrageous!  
   If you too own a ZyXEL U-1496E that you purchased, compare
the serial number on the outside case with the one on your
board inside.  If they are completely different, could you
send me e-mail telling me how different they are?  If you
have the same modem and the numbers compare favorably, could
you send me e-mail telling me as such?  I am interested in 
this very much.  If I get enough responses I will post a
summary of what I have found.  
   BTW, in case you're interested, the number on my outside
case is: S270217036, and the number on my inside board
is: 2700217874.  
   You may send me e-mail at: csjohn@knuth.mtsu.edu

If you have an internal modem then it might be hard if not impossible 
to change the UART since rarely are they a socketed chip on internal
modems but rather something implemented in firmware, in ASIC's or
whatever. For an external you have a better chance. If it's socketed
then pop it out and replace it. I don't know where you would get one
but you could try JDR Microdevices. They're not cheap but tend to
have all kinds of componentry in stock. Call 800 information for their
number or check out a Byte or PC Mag.

I am shopping for a new dlm.  I had been pleased with our CXR telcom 
840 until I saw sparks fly from the dc adapter plug.  I popped it open 
and found that they had used glue to attach the power to the motherboard.  
Somewhere between the glue and the sparks I decided to not send them 
their $500 flat repair fee.  As Dave Berry would say, "I'm not making
this up". 

Can I get some good suggestions on a replacement.  Portable, stand-alone

need high data rates, 38.4kpbs async.

The phone company often has a feature known as Caller-ID, which will pass
information about the number calling you when the phone rings.  This will
usually only work locally (although I have heard of it working occassionally
for Long Distance), and you must pay the phone company to provide the 
information.

Some modems have the ability to decode the information sent by the phone
company and pass it along to the computer.  Generally, the phone company
will sell/rent you a led display that will show the number.  Whether you use
your modem, or a device provided by the phone company, you will still have to
pay $X a month to have the information sent down the line to you.

The Telebit Worldblazer is a good, solid modem.  We have a couple of
them here.  They connect with PEP/TurboPEP and V.32bis.  I only
wish that their v.32bis throughput was as high as some of the other v.32bis 
modems on the market.

I use my Zoom 14.4 to connect to WordlBlazers here at work with no problems at
all. It has NEVER failed to negotiate a v.32bis/v.42bis connection. The only
problem I have with the Zoom and newer Telebit modems is if it is PEP only
(T1000) or the PEP tones are given first. The newer Telebit ROM's seem to put
out a kind of guard tone, very similar to a 2400baud carrier tone for a couple
seconds, just before the actual PEP tones. This confuses the Zoom, and it gets
locked up, needing a reset. For example, I have 2 T1000's, the older ones
just go through the normal PEP tones, and falls back to 2400 baud, and the
Zoom connects fine with an MNP 5 connection. A newer T1000 I can't use because
it puts out this guard tone, and the Zoom gets locked up.

As for the WorldBlazers, I have them setup to issue v.32bis tones first, and
all is OK. I guess the most disturbing part is that I talked to Zoom tech
support, and the guy said "What's PEP?". Oh, well, they depend on Rockwell
for firmware, so they don't need to know a lot about the modem market.

Check out the Dialogic Voice Board.  They have UNIX driver that do just that.

Gak!  Vernon, you ain't no dummy, so something subtle was going on.  We
regularly get 3.7kcps+ on SLIP with ka9q and PC-Route with these puppies.
They're the best we've tried, and we've tried and tried.

Our configs are simple.
