Hi

I'm new to this newsgroup.  Would someone please email me the current
FAQ list, so I don't clutter up the group with a question that has

The modem no longer blocks the INITB packet when the computer requests
a window size larger than 3.  This version of firmware is LA5.01.

Nothing new has been done with respect to packet sizes or limiting the
window size to 3.

I am using a Telebit WorldBlazer to transfer Internet mail (UUCP
connections). The host modem is also a WorldBlazer, set to first
negociate for v.32bis.

When I connect with v.32bis, I get just about 1100cps.  When I tried to
force a TurboPEP connection, I got just about 350cps!...  According to
the manual, I should get a throughput of 23,000 baud, or about
2000-2300cps, from which I am VERY far...

If somebody succeeded in getting better performance, I would be
interested in getting a copy of the modem configuration (AT &V).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

What's worse is that such boilerroom operations typically use dozens of
phones, and the chances are very, very good that the next call from them
will be from a different line.  So not only are you unable to call the
telemarketer back, you'll not be able to prevent him from calling /you/
back unless you are willing to screen out all unknown phone numbers.

The phone companies know which side their bread is buttered on.  They
have no intention of making it harder for telemarketers to reach you.

What is the difference between a UART 16550AFN and a UART 16551AFN?

and a guy a met at an arcade who was using huge computer works to
impress his friends started to talk about Modems, one area that I am
quite informed about.  anyways.  he was saying he would rather buy an
Supra over a USRSportster.  I told him you can enter in an init string
into a USRSportster to make it a 16.8K dual, his reply was I am waiting
for the Supra Dual Standard.   Its will have v32bis and v42bis
protocols.

I told him you can't get a supra to connect to a USR HST, and he said
these modems you can at high speed.  I really felt like slapping him up
beside the head.  and he bet me $100 bucks that he can get them to
connect to a USR HST.

When does someone call v42bis a protocol, its a data compression.

Well, as I remember, they do microcode for the graphics accelerators,
and the FPA (when it was still a live product), and the like - but no
SPARC processor I've ever seen *has* microcode, so there is no version
X.Y of microcode on the processor, for any value of X or Y.

Maybe he's referring to the firmware for the modem.  He's sure not
referring to the boot PROM - or, if he is, he's massively confused,
because, as you said, the boot PROM has nothing to do with whether or
not the Sun serial driver for the zs ports implements RTS flow control.

If you are connecting to another WorldBlazer, I would suggest enabling
TurboPEP.

v.32bis with the WB should yield 1500 in theory, the best I've seen
is 1350.  TurboPep however yields throughput just shy of 2000 cps.

I'm tempted by the voice mail capabilities of the Comlete Communicator

Can anybody suggest a fax/modem with voice mail that supports V.32bis
(14.4K) on the modem end that is of the same caliber of the CCG?
Complete PC is the best there is, or so I have been told.  If I get a

Mine seems to take 4 signals.  Busy-detection even worked when I called
Switzerland ... but it only took 2 signals (I think).

Is it based on "number of seconds of busy signal" or "number of signals"?

Listen Zyxel - if you can afford to sell them at 40% off drop the
damn list price and sell them at that.  When i was looking for
a modem last month I didn't even consider the Zyxel because it
seemed grossly overpriced compared to the cheapo rockwell

they're not big enough to make it worth the difference (eg

So if I use my USR modem as a boat anchor, should I lay awake at night

First of all, DS stands for DUAL standard, not double standard.  Has it ever
occurred to you WHY this modem is called DUAL standard?  That's because
DS handles BOTH HST proprietary protocol AND v.32/v.32bis protocols.
So it is very natural that v.32bis modem won't connect to some DS at 14400bps.
They are simply DS with v.32 instead of v.32bis.
Even if the DS modem in question is HST/v.32bis modem, if the init string
is not set up correctly, it might have trouble connecting other v.32bis
modems.
I have owned SupraFaxModem v.32bis for 4 months, and I have never had any
trouble connecting to other modems including USR DS.

  NO!  There are two pins, one right next to the socket, and one one-pin away
from the socket:   o _ +-----------------
		       | existing socket
		   _ o +-----------------

Since you are in the U.S. you should be forewarned: Zero/One found that too
many people botched this upgrade, so doing it yourself now officially voids
your 5-year warranty.  (If you bought it through someone else, check with
them on whether they'll let you do this upgrade and still be under warranty.)
The official upgrade path is to swap your old modem for an upgraded one at
some nominal cost (shipping + maybe a few dollars) [get details from your
dealer].

  They'll add both pins, replace the 512K EPROMs with 1M EPROMs with the
latest software, and not void your warranty.

I would mention that S41 above sets an inactivity timeout that causes
the modem to disconnect if no i/o occurs within a given time frame.  I
tend to set that limit as Larry does to "1" but only on outgoing long-
distance calls.  Outgoing local calls, made by "cu" or "ct", set that
register to "0" to allow interactive logins to pause as long as necessary.
I found that dialing in from work and then studying listings or something
for a few minutes would cause the modem to hang up.

I implement the above by having separate Dialers files for UUCICO and
CU.  This is done in /etc/uucp/Sysfiles.

Just my $.02
