No.  The TB+ is a PEP only modem beyond 2400 bps.  However, you CAN get
V.42bis to work with these with the proper ROM upgrade.  If you're running
BA4.00, however, you might want to leave it alone.

I have received the upgrade.  The chips work.  I have not, however, seen any
specific benefit (except that some later T2500 and WB modems I can now
connect to in PEP mode where I could not before).

V.32 is a 9600 bps signalling protocol (yeah, I know, it doesn't send
symbols at 9600 bps really :-).  V.32bis is a 14.4kbs carrier rate.  V.42 is
rarely used; what you usually find is V.42bis which is an error control and
compression protocol which runs on top of the carrier (V.32 or V.32bis, or
even 2400 bps modems in some cases).

V.32 and V.32bis are tricky monsters; they rely heavily on echo cancellation
to work at all (ie: they cancel their "own" end's tones so they can
differentiate the others).  As you can probably surmise, this is not easy to
do.

I'm considering buying a couple of these.  Has anyone had any experience

seen is the Prodigy/Digicom deal).

Has anyone actually used one?

I dont know about your area, but in mine, to disable call waitng, just dial
*70 before the number you want.  This will give all others a busy signal.
If someone is modeming to you, I dont think *70 will work properly.

I'd pay for such an upgrade, without question, if they offered it. The
unfortunate part about class 1 modems is that if you're modem is constantly
answering the phone and set for data calls, there is no way for it to
figure out when a fax call comes in. (Sysops can relate with this problem.)

Overall, I'd say it's a very nice modem. The LCD display is a nice touch.

Quick question for you, Shag. I come from the fido world of messaging. Being
a little new to newsgroups, could you tell me if I'm doing anything "out of

No. The "economy" $625 version is Faximum ELS, which features an
"easy-to-use interface designed for non-technical users", custom cover
sheets, WordPerfect integration, console display support, various font
emulations "for laser quality faxes".  That's it.

"and for additional functionality there is Faximum PLUS"...

Faximum PLUS is $900 and offers intelligent routing, multiple
directories, detailed accounting, etc., etc. that make this the choice
for networked systems.    

So a comparison between a single user (I assume) $290 Digifax package
and the Faximum $625 product seems perfectly reasonable.  I'm sure that
Faximum makes wonderful software, but I believe it was an inappropriate
and inconvenient recommendation from Telebit.

That could be said for any new standard when it first comes out.
The 16.8K HST is the current incarnaion of the HST range and as such is
compatible with all earlier HSTs of which there are still a lot around. If
modems weren't improved HST would still be stuck at 9.6K.  Already
here in the UK I am aware of several places supporting 16.8K connections.

Keywords: ZOOM, UART, ZMODEM
Organization: George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA
Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1993 22:22:02 GMT

Hi,

I have just purchased a Zoom VFX/V32bis faxmodem, and I am having 
problems with downloading with zmodem.  I can not download anything
without getting CRC error after CRC error and finally having sz 
crash on me with "could not send block".  I have tried every possible
combination of MNP 5, V.42, Xon/Xoff, RTS/CTS, etc.

Now, the one thing I don't have is a 16550 UART.  I can't find any in
the area, but will order one if that will solve my problems.  I was 
under the impression that I would just get slower throughput, not 
constant CRC errors if I did not have the 16550.

Oh yeah, I'm using version 3.14 of zmodem by Omen.

Also, for you Zoom owners out there, I can not get the Local Analog 
Loopback test to work.  I type in ATS18=0 &T8 from command mode and
get ERROR in return.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You could set S0=0 and then store it permanently as the default using the

   It wouldn't hurt.  If there's a socketed 16450 on your I/O card or 
motherboard, just pop a 16550A in its place.  If the UART is soldered and 
you're not skilled at unsoldering DIPs (or don't have the right tools), then I 
wouold not suggest trying to remove an unsocketed chip.

   He may have been right!  Many I/O cards these days roll all of the I/O 
functions (including both UARTs) into one chip, meaning that there's no way to 
replace the UART on them.  You have options:

(1) Disable the existing serial port(s) and buy a serial card with 16550A 
chips (or at least sockets so you can install 16550As).

(2) Toss your I/O card and buy one with socketed UARTs.

Huracan's X.25 link uses precisely your configuration: two T1600 in
transparent synch mode.  (Make sure you have ROMs later than 1.xx)

This is what my Captain's Log :-} says about the way I configured them
two years ago:

-----

SYNCHRONOUS SETTINGS FOR TELEBIT T1600

Reset to factory with AT &F0 &W0 &W1

On originate:  AT &F12 &Q6 &W
On answer:     AT &F13 &Q6 &W

The &Q6 is _not_ put in automatically by the &F12 and &F13, even though it
should since it's a configuration for a synch line.

-----

I've found that if you press the T/D button, the modem drops the line
and _does_not_ try to reconnect.  In general, turn both modems off and
back on again if you have pressed T/D.

You seem to have a flowcontrol problem. Just looking at the regular
AT*O output and the one you posted, it seems that many lines are just
swallowed. The Scout+ uses hardware handshake by default. (AT*F3).
Here is the regular AT*O printout so you can compare:

at*o 
MODEL:SCOUT PLUS 
DTE:  57600  N81
DCE:  14400   V42b       
RECEIVE LEVEL= -36 DBM

 E1  K1  M1  Q0  V1  X4 TONE 
 &B0 &C1 &D3 &R2 &T5 
 *E1 *F3 *G1 *M2 *N2 *P0 *Q3 *S1 *T1  
			
S00=001  S04=010  S08=002  S15=255 
S01=000  S05=008  S09=000  S18=000
S02=043  S06=002  S10=003  S25=000 
S03=013  S07=090  S12=050  S26=000 
OK
