That will select hardware handshaking (which is probably the problem
you're having) and disable DTR detection.

Another possibility is that your file has three plus signs followed by
"AT" and a carriage return, which can make the modem escape to command
mode rather than transfer the data.  If you think that's happening, try
this setting:

AT &F9 S2=255 S25=255 S51=252

That will enable DTR disconnections, but only after DTR turns off for
2.5 seconds (often long enough to let flow control work without dropping
the connection prematurely), and will disable the escape sequence.  This
can work if your cable ties the modem's DTR and RTS pins together (with
the Mac's handshake output signal).  If not, you'll have to call Telebit
tech support:  +1-800-TELEBIT, +1-408-734-5200, or modems@telebit.com

In addition to larger packets, do a "set win 7" or higher to engage sliding
windows (it is implemented in the VMS version of C-Kermit 5A, so I assume
it must be in various Un*x versions).  That made the most difference to
throughput here.  On text files I've had throughput of >1500 cps between a
MicroVax whose DTE speed is no faster than 19,200 baud and an MS-Dos
machine, both using Supras at 14,400 baud and with V.42bis operating.  Not
as good as sz, but not bad either.

help!

I just bought a usr sportster 14.4 modem w/ 9600 fax
I love the modem but I am having the dickens of a time
trying to get ANYTHING to work with the fax....
the blastfax program it comes with will NOT recognize any
windows 3.1 files sent to printer=file (like it says it should)

i called usr.. they said i have to go to the paintbrush program
and save it as a pcx file... that's dumb... the manual
quite plainly says that it will read any HP Laserjet II or III
printer file.. but it won't.

so... being the rather impatient one i am.... i went to the store
and bought Faxit (they were out of winfax pro)....
faxit says (compatible with over 80 fax boards and fax/modems)
of course.. except mine!
i have to run the "alien scheduling program" before windows...
but when I select "Class 1 compatible".. it says
hardware initialisation (is that with an "s"?) failure... not installed
i go through every single fax on the list (only about 10 or so) and
reach the usr worldport 2400 (send only)... so i give it a shot...
initializes ok.... great!.. try to send... it won't connect with
the other fax... anyone have any ideas?
... software to use... commands to send modem? weapons to
destroy this stupid thing with...

I will probably take the software I got today and return it and
go to another store to get winfax pro... i think i read
somewhere that someone had no problems with it with the same
fax/modem .. i hope so.

I've recently been given the task of determining which vendor we should
select for upgrading our modem pool.  Of course, the first things I'm 
doing is asking for the collective wisdom of the net to provide some
suggestions.

Basic desires include:

A modem pool of about 64 v.32bis modems.
Remote management of pool.
Automatic monitoring and corrective action capability (mark dead
modems as offline)

Really nice to have features:

Outbound number logging.
Usage statistics.
Pool management (14 modems locked in 2400 mode, remainder in full v.32bis 
mode - electronically reconfigurable)

Vendors I'm planning on contacting:

Microcom
Hayes
Multi-Tech
US Robotics

All suggestions and comments are welcome. (Even saleperson calls!>

Hmmm... I'd be willing to try that - just to keep our results synchronized,
what tune were you whistling, and at about what tempo?  Did you drum on the
modem to add percussion, or just whistle?   Also, would singing (instead of
whistling) be more, or less, likely to confuse the modem, due to the
dissimilarity that exists between singing and modem tones, as compared to
the similarity between whistling and modem tones? ;)

Can someone direct me to a good information source for leased
line modems? (CSU/DSU's I believe they are called.) I will
need to purchase two CSU/DSU modems early next year for establishing
a 57.6Kps Internet link via a leased line. I've looked around the net
some, but have been unable to locate information on this type
of modem.

Could somone suggest companies I could contact for catalogs
or product lists, dealing with this type of hardware? Is there any 
specific features I should look for in a CSU/DSU modem? 

Is there any way to connect a CSU/DSU modem to a Sun4 withouth uising
a full router? We'll need a NetBlazer anyways, for our modem pool,
but we don't want to purchase a second NetBlazer for the other
end of the link unless we must.

Thank you.

Glad to hear this too.  I look forward, in eager anticipation, to actually

What makes you think the delay pisses me?  Really, it's not the delay, but
it is instead the promise Supra's rep made, knowing full well they'd never

Yes.  This is exactly why I am about to give up on my "Zoom second chance" 
and go for what I should have bought in the first place.  My T2500's always
work predictably (and correctly) (except for the old and well-known problem

That is a problem.  This is why I've been waiting for a couple of years to
upgrade all of my lines to Telebit.  However it is worth the wait becuase
the cheapos just aren't worth the aggravation, unless you happen to have 
lots of time to play around babysitting your modems.

I'm looking into buying a 14.4K external modem, with FAX, for a

read the last 400 or so messages) --- it's been very informative.
But, I didn't notice anything about the "Magic Modems" entry into the
14.4K/Fax field.  Is it just a repackaging of some other modem?  Yet
Another Rockwell Chip Set modem?  Likely to be unreliable on noisy
lines?  At the price (around $270) it seemed >very< attractive.  Is
this just false economy?

It's been advertised (at least) these last three months in MacWorld.
Does anyone have any experience with them?  Any real info?

Dial-out, Fax out and Fax in would be common.  Dial-in very
occasionally, but probably usually at the lower speeds anyway.

They had a "trade-in" and a "trade-up" program.
The trade-in provide a new modem of same type HST->HSTnew,
DUAL->DUALnew, etc., for $299 plus your old modem.
The trade-up allowed you to take any old 9600 modem from
HST (courier, V.32) and send it in with $349 and receive back
their newest DUAL-with-FAX model.

They also had V.32 upgrade boards for the newer 14.4 HST's and 
FAX upgrades for newer DUALS.

I think it's all over now, but call their customer service 
(good luck getting through) at 800-982-5151.

I sent two original Courier's in and received Duals. - It took 
a month longer than they promised, they sent them COD even though
it was prepaid, and it took weeks of calls and faxes to straighten
it out - I was one totally frustrated cat <g>.
