	I thought UUNET only supported the 'g' protocol and not the
'G' protocol.  Also Will UUNET support a Zmodem type protocol such
as that provided by Tylor UUCP?  I don't know if this version of
Tylor has been released yet but was under the impression it would
support the beast. :-)  

	Eric, I am also having trouble sending files to UUNET.  To
break down the problem... I receive news and mail just fine with
g(7,512)  However, if my system has something batched for UUNET, be
it news or mail, and it is over 10K in size I am almost gauranteed
a protocol failure.  It may also depend on the hour of day it is
calling I suppose.  I don't know what could be the trouble.

Well, in this instance Intel did somethings right for a change and
it is an easy model to install and configure, plus it talks to just
about anything. Noisy lines is where it really shines. Now for the
dirt you asked for. I run and Intel SatisFAXion 400, which is an
Intel 14.4EX model with FAX capability. The only problems I had
with it were with Telebit T1500,T2500 modems. Since I have upgraded
to the new EPROM patch from Intel's BBS, that problem has
disappeared too. Mine was among the first of the new units. I got
it before it was generally available, so the one's in the stores
won't have this problem from the onset.

As to UNIX and NET capability. I and typing this message connected
to a UNIX mode through one now. I have also used 14.4's on Terminal
Servers without so much as a sniffle, and they handle hardware ands
software flow control beautifully.

As to the 80186. It's fast enough to get the job done. After
running a grueling 36 maximum load test suite against a terminal
server, switching baudrates on the fly, forcing the modem to
retrain while transmitting and push maximum data through it; it ran
without losing one packet.

It may not be the absolutes latest and greatest on the block, but I
have been very happy with it...

I just got a used Microcom AX/9600 Plus modem without the manual. Can
someone please give me some tips on how to set this thing up to connect at
9600cps? In playing with the dip switches I was able to get it to show
messages on the screen and respond to hayes commands but when it connects
it always says CONNECT 2400/REL instead of 9600. What is 2400/REL and how is 
it different from plain 2400? The text on the screen seems to be jerky, stops
and starts alot compared to my 2400 Zoom modem. Also, the HS light on the 
modem is on so I would think it should connect at 9600cps, but no luck. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

   Yes, I've seen similar behavior -- my U-1496E (running version rk412ce)
sometimes doesn't hang up when DTR drops even though I've set &D3.  I was
hoping it would be fixed in 5.02, but, judging by your message, I guess it
isn't.  The most interesting aspect is that the modem can continue talking
to an otherwise silent line (no carrier from the other end) indefinitely,
even through the "if you'd like to make a call, please hang up and try again"
message, and through the loud beep, beep, beep, beep, please-hang-up noise,
without ever deciding to hang up.  It can almost always be convinced to hang
up by pushing the data/voice switch by hand, but that's no help if you're not
sitting next to the modem.

Perhaps it is a chicken and the egg problem. My original HST manual has a
copyright date of 1986. The modem has a 1987 date on the bottom. 
Isn't the same plug used on the original PC and PC/AT for the keyboard?
Perhaps Apple should have used a mini-DIN connector instead??

But they have.  In fact, this is at least the second time they've
seriously underestimated demand for their products; the first time was
when they initially released the SFM.  This time it was really
inexcusable, since they had a database of everyone who had registered
for a ROM upgrade; it shouldn't have been all that difficult to
realize that most of the people who had bought the modem were going to
be interested in a free ROM upgrade.

You can say what you want about Supra.  I guess I got spoiled dealing
with Telebit -- modems that work correctly, all the time; tech support
who know what they're talking about; timely and easy-to-obtain ROM
upgrades.  My next modem isn't going to be a Telebit, because they're
just too expensive.  But my next modem definitely isn't going to be a
Supra.  Those ZyXEL modems sure look nice...

if they buy 100 zillion of those connectors they get quantity discounts.They

Sorry if this is a FAQ....

I have an application where I will need to connect a PC to a mainframe

I am woefully ignorant about BISYNC.

Can anyone:

   1.) Recommenad a board that I can put in the PC that understands BISYNCH?
       I am writing software (u-soft  and C++) that will communicate with
       the board, so the programmable interface is important.  Cheap would
       be nice

   2.) provide ome advice on what I need in the way of modems?

   3.) Recommend  a good BISYNCH primer.  3rd grade level
       would be nice and probably appropriate.

Many thanks.

PS -

In case someone notices the return address:  Yes - Amdahl understands
BISYNCH.  I don't, and I don't work for the communications division.
And this is not a Amdahl project.  It is for personal gratification.

I was just wondering if anybody had any general opinions on the differences

Is one more reliable than the other, have more features, better warranty,
has more luck connecting to other modems, etc...

I have a SupraFAX Modem v32bis, and find it to be a tremendous product, but
I have not had a chance to check out the Zoom Product, and thus do not wish

I noticed that my 4.1 rom was dated 5/12/92, whereas a log posted a while ago

Did USR release another 4.1 rom which patched the hole?  Am I out of luck?

Also note that for ttysoftcar to work consistently, you MUST NOT have
the keyword "local" in the /etc/ttytab entry for the modem port.

For example:

   ttya  "/usr/etc/getty std.9600"    dialup    on local secure
                                                   ^^^^^
                                              REMOVE THIS!!

When you run 'ttysoftcar -a', ttysoftcar scans the /etc/ttytab file
looking for modem ports.  Any entry that has "local" in it will be
counted as a terminal port and NOT a modem port.  Ttysoftcar will
reset the port for "software" carrier (ignore DCD and always assume
carrier is on).

If the entry does not have "local", ttysoftcar will know it's a modem
port and select hardware carrier.  This is what you want for a modem
port - you want it to listen to the "hardware" carrier (the DCD signal
from the modem).

You can use "ttysoftcar -n ttya" to set the port correctly without
scanning /etc/ttytab, but your setting will be changed back as soon
as you reboot your system.  The system runs 'ttysoftcar -a' in the
/etc/rc startup script.  If your /etc/ttytab entry isn't correct
(still has "local" in it), the settings will be put back to the
incorrect "software carrier" ones.
