I normally do not like to generate hate mail or controversy, but I feel that
I must state my experience with Mr. Mubasheer Cheema a couple of months ago
so readers may be careful when dealing with their purchases.

In the third week of October, 1992, I responded to a similar posting
from Mr. Mubasheer Cheema, and talked to him on the phone several
times. He refused to send the modem by COD. When asked about
references of people who had bought stuff from him, he said he will
mail me the references by e-mail. The e-mail never arrived. After
sending him several e-mails for getting references, I got no replies.
After that, I left him a couple of messages on answering machine about
references but he never called back. So I decided that either he had
sold all the modems, or he was not interested in giving any references
or returning my phone calls.

I saw the same posting again here and I thought I would let the netters
know of my experience. I am not saying that Mr. Cheema is a dishonest
person or is trying to rip me (or someone else) off. Buyer Beware!

I'm afraid that's not the case for several VERY popular models of
Telebit modems:

	TrailBlazer - Original Telebit modem.  Does not support V.32.
		      Just PEP, 2400, 1200, and 300 bps.

	TrailBlazer Plus - Replaced the TrailBlazer in the Telebit
		           modem family.  Has same modulations.

	T2000 - A TrailBlazer Plus with support for SDLC in PEP mode.
		Otherwise, is the same modem, including the modulations.

	T1000 - A cheaper version of the TrailBlazer Plus.  PEP mode
		limited to 9600 bps instead of 14,000-19,200 bps.
		Same modulations otherwise.

The Telebit modems that do support V.32 are as follows:

	T2500 - PEP, V.32, 2400, 1200, 300 bps modulations.

	T1500 - V.32, 2400, 1200, 300 bps modulations.

	T1600 - Replaced the T1500 in the Telebit modem family.

	QBlazer - V.32, 2400, 1200, 300.

	T3000 - V.32bis, V.32, 2400, 1200, 300.

	WorldBlazer - Turbo-PEP/PEP, V.32bis, V.32, 2400, 1200, 300.

So you see, if your company's modem is one of the models in the first
list, it does NOT support V.32.  The fastest connection you can make
is 2400 (unless you can use PEP).  You need to get a T2500 or WorldBlazer
if you want both PEP and V.32.

Depends on which Telebit modem you have.  Start with S50=0.

I have a Gateway Telepath modem and would like to know what settings will
ensure that the line is dropped when a call comes in.  Is this merely a 
matter of setting the S10 register to a value less than the factory standard
14?  My older Intel modem hung up the connection reliably when a call came
in so that I would not be cut off from the world just because I spend too
much time reading  Usenet.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 I believe it supposed to fix certain problems with v 1.20, ( like
 refusing to connect to certain v32 modems, and certain fax machines).

 Since I've been having sporadic problems with my BOCA, and other people
 have posted likewise, it should help to fix those problems..

The command that you are looking for is:

ATGW03C6,22GW05CD,2F

This will make your sportster look (and act) like a HST DS 16.8 modem.
As for you problem with downloads, you might want to try playing with
the modem compression features, ie. turn mnp5 compress off, etc.

I have a USR Sportster 14400 with the 4.1 ROMS, and I was wondering exactly
how one changes it to 16.8k baud and how to successfully download at the

I once changed it with some commands, but when I called a BBS, it was

 I am a college student. I am looking for a fax modem for MAC computers.
Ideally, I want something cheap and not too slow. Something with 9600 will
be OK. Also, it would help if softwares can come with the modem to make life
easier for me. Data compression and error correction features will certainly
be appreciated, I could do without these. As usual, college student don't

A friend of mine is doing a dialup setup in Bombay, India, where
the phone company delivers relatively noisy lines.  What protocols
and/or brandnames do you recommend for such a situation?

Is it the case that once the protocols are defined, the brandname
is irrelevant?

Do modems breakdown a lot?  Or do they have a MTBF measured in years?

Convenient interfacing to Suns is also an issue.

Thanks,

Very little has been decided about V.fast; there are a lot of 
proposals on the table.  What HAS been decided is that it will 
support data rates from 2400 to 28,800 bit/s in increments of 2400 
bit/s.  You should be able to see 28,800 bit/s on roughly 80% of 
lines in the USA, which would be those which have a relatively short 
loop with all digital trunks used for long distanceand interoffice
calls. 

> Should I wait for V.Fast or go with a V.32bis now?

That depends on your needs.  The V.fast standard is not likely to be 
settled until mid-1994 at the earliest.  Reasonable low-cost 
products might not be available until late 1995 or early 1996 if 
we're lucky.  That's a long way away.  If you're running 2400 now, 
you can probably save a lot of time (and money, if you pay for 
connect time or long distance charges) by going ahead and buying a 
V.32bis modem now.

V.32 was approved in 1984.  V.32bis was approved in 1991.  There's 
no such thing as "V.32 FAST".  If you mean "V.fast", this is the 
interim, working title of a standard for a duplex modem operating at 
up to 28,800 bit/s.  It will probably be 1994 before it is adopted.

Digicom committed to implement the Class 2.0 fax interface. This is the

you see in present modems.

Voicemail is also planned (finished in the lab so far) and it will
include switching between voice/fax/data.

which I find rather useful:

For "unattended" file transfer I would use UUCP.

There are a few DOS PD version out there (FSUUCP, UUPC).

There is also a commercial version just out by MKS (1-800-265-2797)
that transfers files with a background TSR.
So you can work on your DOS computer and
download a file with UUCP at the same time.
