Well here's my guess! If a modem is going to pass data through as fast as
possible it will have to start transmitting a block before it can determine
whether that block is compressible or not. Therefore it must guess whether the
block is compressible from previous data it has transmitted. This is fine
unless the data varies rapidly between compressible and incompressible (e.g.
a multiplexed line such as SLIP). It's quite easy to envisage a senario like
this where the modem ends up compressing incompressible blocks and not
compressing compressible blocks.

Of course there's also the processing overhead of the compression which may
be too much for some modems. Modems need to go through the compression process
even when they aren't sending data compressed since they still need to
determine whether the data is compressible or not.

        I was reading this forum for months before choosing the PPI 14400FXSA
and I've think I made a great choice, and I have not had any problems what so
ever. I've had the modem for a while now and its used at least three hours
per day and no problems have been encountered yet. I did get the rom upgrade,
'just in case', and the service was FANTASTIC, I called the service dept and
2 days later I had my new rom installed.  It is quite rare to see a complaint
for the 14400FXSA, and I would imagine that the problem is not the modem but
somewhere else in the users system.

        The PPI 14400FXSA is one GREAT MODEM...

owners, citing his own negative experiences.

Lest anyone think all owners of Practical Peripherals 14400 FXSA modems are
unhappy....
 
I find the Practical Peripherals 14400FXSA modem to be a terrific modem. It is
the primary modem at my host, L'AISON (313-647-2634), and thousands of calls
from a wide variety of other HS modems have been answered and connections
negotiated. The host software (FirstClass) utilizes the full bandwidth of both
channels in the v.32bis connection, allowing simultaneous uploads and
downloads at high speeds.
 
The LCD readout is a valuable asset for a host system, as it provides a great
deal of information about each connection that may not otherwise be available.

 
In my situation, the PPI is connected to Plain-Old-Telephone-Service (POTS) on
the telephone end, and to a high-speed serial i/o card at the DCE/DTE end.
 
The modem has been in service since approximately July 1, 1992. It is covered by a lifetime warranty.

Subject: ZyXEL connecting to other modems
Date: Fri, 25 Dec 92 23:27:12 GMT
Organization: The University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Hello-

Has anyone out there had any luck connecting a ZyXEL 1496E with 5.02 ROMS to
a Telebit 1000 under V.32?  I haven't had much luck at all..  usually it
doesn't connect, but if it DOES, its 2400/MNP4...  I have a similar problem
with a MultiTech V.32-it always connects, but only at 2400/MNP4.  

Here's my modem settings:
 B0   E1   L4   M1   N7   Q0   V1   X4  
&B1  &C1  &D2  &G0  &H3  &J0  &K4  &L0  &M0  &N0  &P0  &R1  &S1  &X0  &Y1  
*B0  *C0  *D0  *E0  *F0  *G0  *I0  *L0  *M0  *P9  *Q2  *S0  
 
S00=000   S01=000   S02=043   S03=013   S04=010   
S05=008   S06=003   S07=255   S08=002   S09=006   
S10=007   S11=070   S12=000   S13=000   S14=002   
S15=002   S16=000   S17=018   S18=000   S19=000   
S20=003   S21=186   S22=000   S23=099   S24=142   
S25=000   S26=000   S27=156   S28=068   S29=000   
S30=000   S31=017   S32=019   S33=000   S34=030   
S35=000   S36=000   S37=000   S38=032   S39=000   
S40=000   S41=000   S42=002   S43=000   S44=000   
S45=000   S46=000   S47=000   S48=000   S49=000   
 

I set S38.5=1 to disable MNP5 (is this the problem?), S42.2=1 to enable
throughput averaging (slows things down a tiny bit, but results in much
smoother response). 

I seem to remember someone saying something about the ZyXEL not connecting
if it is set to &K4 but the other end is not set to its equivalent setting.

Will the 5.04 ROMs help?  I've got the binaries, but need to go out and get
a couple of EPROMs..


Can anyone out there shed some light on this?

Let me know how your quartz upgrade goes, please.

I run a 3/60 at 20 MHz and use 38400 baud on the DTE port, but 19200 baud on
the dialin host. I get data transfers of between 1600 to 1700 cps and
dont loose characters even on larger file transfers of 3 Mbytes or so
at a time. 

The modem I use is a Digicom Scout+ V.32bis at 14,400 bps and V.42bis,
of course :-).

I have a ZyXEL on my BBS, and it does modem/FAX determination just fine.
When Waffle gets "CONNECT FAX" from the modem, it shells out to the FAX

It is, however, a special ZyXEL mode, and will not work with "normal" FAX

It seems pretty clear that most of the bundled software is:

    a) just barely functional for fax or data comm - 
       enough to let you use the hardware, but no more.

    b) minimal or crippled versions of higher grade products, 
       sold with the hope that the naive user will accept the
       user interface idioms and thus purchase the top-shelf software.

    c) licensed in bulk to the modem manufacturers, 
       probably at a pretty small unit cost, considering b)

Just ask yourself if you would actually purchase the bundled software in
preference to a regular product. (In this group, that probably only
makes sense with fax software - I suspect that most readers of c.d.m
would use any one of a number of free or shareware data-comm packages
before buying a data-comm package that is bundled.)

I suspect that the actual increase in costs of a modem package due to
bundled software (and coupons for info services) are small in
comparision to the costs of including a cable with an external modem, or
in comparison to the overhead required to produce and stock several
packages for the various operating environments instead of just one package.

List prices (as opposed to costs) are another matter altogether.  I
guess that the modem manufacturers view bundled software as a convenient
way to reduce the cost of responding to support calls from naive users,
(since those users are less likely to purchase other software) and as a
way to extract a few dollars more from the market by presenting a set of
products which are apparently differentiated.

And having said all that, if anyone has a functional but not
full-featured fax software package that would work with a Supra V.32bis
under DOS that they want to get rid of cheap, send me e-mail & describe it.
I'll pay shipping, but not much more.

I have a PPI pocket modem for my laptop which failed after about six months.
These are "lifetime warranteed", so I sent it back, and they sent me a new 
one in a reasonable timeframe.

HOWEVER, there is a *charge* for warranty repairs -- I think it was $25 for
the pocket modem, which is 25% of what I paid for it.  The "lifetime warranty"
claim should be taken with a grain of salt...

I just installed the new ROMS for my BOCA 14.4 Modem.
I don't see a dang difference at all... Still can't connect
to that pesky ZOOM v32 modem, and haven't tried faxing yet,,
 
Back to the drawing boards,,,

OK.  Apparently they want to keep it a secret, because I've spent quite
a bit of time poring over specs listed on packaging, deciding between
the different units before buying for myself ... and the Hayes was the ony
one I saw that listed 14.4K FAX.  But of course I've not covered every unit
out there.

RE: "who would send a fax to a data modem" ... why would anyone care?
You give out a FAX number - who is to know whether it's a real fax machine
or a modem that answers?
