My current hypothesis is that it only partially sees DTR dropping
(if that's so, it is poor real time firmware design).  The minimum
time it can be set to respond to DTR is 50MS, whereas it appears ttymon
pulses DTR around 10 MS, judging by the wink of the DTR lite on logout.

No joke.  Big rip-off.  And for UK customers, who need to get the green
sticker (BABT approval), there are very few alternatives.  In fact,
I know of no other possibilities.

GBP 945 == ~US$1900 at this time.  That's right, the equivalent of
APPROXIMATELY ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS.  This seems to me to
be gouging.

According to a uucico -x9 dump, ISC 2.2 (and 2.2.1, not sure about 3.0)
use a packet size of 64 and a window of 7.  I know, I had the 'g' protocol

My PM14400FXSA works flawlessly using zmodem, compuserveB, and kermit

You can't download from one site and you advise the world to stay away

You even say it works with one of the three programs you tried, and you

Not without a fight. In fact Hayes was granted rights to the HST

Hayes over the USR's non-liscened use of the technique.

Hayes has declined to exercise their rights in a product offering thus
far, and is unlikely to.

Telebit Worldblazer uses TIES (no gurad time, threee char escape).
If you leave the default plus sign, and happen to type three pluses
in a row (such as paging around in elm), and the next thing you
type is not AT... the modem says RECONNECT and goes on about its
business as if nothing had happened.  If you have ATQ0 set, then
you don't even get the RECONNECT string, so there'd be no problem
at all transferring text or binary files.

Only a ridiculously contrived situation such as a news article
describing the problem with pluses and ATs embedded would be a
problem.

I have a beef with Hayes of not including a decent manual with
their V series modems.  The leaflet that passes for a reference
manual is ridiculous.  I recently had to help a customer set up
some software to dial into my site; they'd bought V series modems
several several months ago.  I called Hayes in attempt to obtain
the real manual that should have come with the modem.  Hayes was
adamant about not sending me the manual because the customer had
already sent in the warranty cards, but had not sent in the manual
request card.  I'm all in favor of saving paper and hence our
planet by not including manuals in the box for low-tech customers that
only run totally canned software, but heck let's have a little
flexability in satisfying paying customers.

Hayes blew the opportunity to sell me several hundred more V series
modems thanks to their lousy support policy.  The sale has gone
instead to DSI which has quite pleasant and helpful support.  It is
a coincidence, but DSI modems work for us out-of-the-box anyway.
Hayes have a technically better modem and PADS capabilty, but that
matters little when you've got to get the darn thing configured for
an impatient customer.

I am having a problem.  It seems my supra v.32bis doesn't have a CONNECT 14400 
result code.  I need the modem to send the connect codes in number form to.  
There is a result code for every speed except 14400.  

I tried using atw1 which gives the Carrier 14400 Protocol Connect 57600, but 
as soon as my BBS gets the 14400 carrier code in number form, it starts 
sending data to the modem.  And there is a pause between the carrier 14400 and 
57600 and the modem isn't ready yet.  

I can tell the BBS to look for the 57600 code, but then it would say the 
caller was on at 57600 and the time for dnloads would be messed up.

I use an 8250 UART with a Scout+ just to see how it works. I dont get
many errors at all, but can use only 38,400 baud as the highest DTE
speed. Most important, though, is that all the toggles in Qmodem 4.31
are set correctly. 'DTE when writing' must be set to OFF, otherwise I
experience overrun errors whenever data gets written to disk. 'Hi-speed
transmit' must be set ON, etc. In general I find a setup with a 8250
requires more fine-tuning, in particular at speeds of 38,400 or
57,600 baud DTE. If you still get errors after checking your settings,
I recommend to install a 16550AFN UART on your serial port. 

With a 16550AFN 16 byte buffer and a 57,600 baud DTE rate I can set the
toggles in the wrong positions and still dont get errors. Its more fault
tolerant, including operator error.

I'm puzzled that a line of products from MacProducts USA,
advertised in MacWorld magazine and seemingly competitively
priced, are never mentioned here.

The Magic range of modems/fax modems include the Magic VFX
V.23bis, which is priced at $289 with "software".

The spec is 14400 modem and fax, class 1&2 compat., group 2,3,4
compat., V.42bis/V.32bis, MNP5, 2 year warranty, 30 day money
back.

The address is 608 West 22nd, Austin TX 78705. Tel. (512) 472
8881 and Fax (512) 499 0888.  Numbers are also quoted for support
and also in Singapore, Malaysia and Canada.  The USA free line is
1 800 622 8721.

Is it that they are just rebadged versions of something else, or
is it only a send fax, or what?

There are also the VFX FaxModem at $189 (V.42bis), the VX V.32
Modem "9600bps modem with compression to 38400bps, hardware
V.32/V.42bis & MNP5" at $199 and the VX V.32bis "14400bps modem
with compression to 57600bps" etc, at $259.

That Motorola Codex modem 28.8K is proprietary.  The real V.Fast 28.8 won't
be finalized until the end of '93, then will be formally adopted early
1994.  Therefore, when the standard comes out, the Codex will not be able
to connect to it at 28.8K...
  USRobotics Courier V.32bis/Dual Standard lines will be upgradeable to
V.Fast when it comes out for $300.

My serial port board has one socket, and one soldered-in 8250.  I
didn't want to use the socket, because that means buying the line
drivers and external DB-25.  I don't have the equipment for
desoldering a 40-pin IC.  Wire-wicking the solder off each pin, while
an impressive feat, gets old fast.  So, I got out the trusty dikes,
and clipped off the pins of the 8250, and discarded it. I didn't
desolder the pins even though it would have been easy at that point.
I just put my shiny new 16550AFN over the remaining 8250 pins and
soldered them together.

Worked like a charm.  Now I can communicate at 57600 baud without
dropped characters!
