   Umm, I believe that there was an ADH and an ADM model, the latter with 
MNP3. 

   Also, these modems (at least, the ones I saw - I worked for a former 
distributor) don't support higher serial port rates, so you can't get the 
performance boost from MNP.

   I suppose that, in a day when MNP was rare, these were good modems (though 
they keep dying because of overheating - few seem to have lasted this long)... 
but, in a day of MNP5 and/or V.42bis and 9600 bps port speeds on 2400MNP 
modems, they're not much better than a plain 2400.

Its only one or two lines of C depending on how you count it.  Any
good compiler will render it into 10 or less instructions.  Basically
the inner loop is:

    unsigned char *cp, *ep;  /* current and end pointer */
    unsigned short crc, crctab[];

    [...]

    while (cp < ep)
	crc = crctab[(unsigned char) crc ^ *cp++] ^ (crc >> 8);

Filling in the crctab is left as an exercise to the reader. ;-)

(The biggest trick is often re-writing the C and casting it enough
that the compiler gets a clue and generates good code.  For a typical
68k compiler you want to entice it to generate a dbz loop.  For a
typical RISC compiler you probably want to do a pointer loop.)

There is now a U-1496E+.  The E+ uses a faster processor than the E,
so it will eventually be able to do 19.2 kbps (and maybe faster) with
EPROM upgrades, but the E will never do faster than 16.8 kbps.  I don't
know what the price difference is.

People:

  I'm thinking of buying the ZyXEL U-1496E from Kandy Shack for $329,
but am unsure of exaclty what the package contains.  I have a mac
SE/30.  Will the above price include cable and FAX software for the
mac?  Does anyone who bought the mac package remember what the final
cost for the package, tax, 2nd day shipping, cable (if not included)
came to?
  By the way, the reason I haven't asked Kandy Shack it they're at
a convention this week and closed.

Another major plus for Digicom Scouts is they guarantee the modem
for 5 years. Read that again, the *modem* is guaranteed for 5 years:
they don't just guarantee that the original purchaser won't have
trouble but the modem itself wherever it is. There is no guarantee
card to fill in to register your ownership: the date it was
originally sold is kept on file at Digicom so they know when to
start the 5 year period. There is no complicated "see your local
dealer" to go through: you can get service from Digicom. Thus there
are no international marketing lines drawn in the sand: you can get
service wherever you are. 

And of course they work well. 

Dave

The Boca I ordered from PC Connection has similar problems. It can send
fax to other FaxModem and FaxMachine; it can receive incoming fax from
Fax machine and from another Boca FaxModem, but it failed to receive
fax sent from ZyXEL 1496E and from Everex FaxModem. (In the latter two
cases, the software shows receiving fax successfully, but what I can
read is only a page of bar code. We have tried QL2FAX and WinFax at
both ends and got the same results.) I called PC Connection's technical
support and they told me that they didn't know the answer. But they
gave me a long distance number (not 800 number) for the technical
support from Boca Research. When I called Boca technical support,
they put me on hold for 15 minutes and no one come to answer my
question. Now I have sent it back to PC Connection and they promise
to refund the full price of the FaxModem plus the postage for sending
it back to them. I paid the $5 shipping and handling cost.

That could be.  It could even be with larger TCP/IP/SLIP packets if the

I do not see this.

The word "collapse" is often reserved for situations where a small
increase in offered load results in a substantial decrease in
throughput.  The system, whether a computer virtual memory system
during "thrashing" or ethernet in "collision collapse" or rush-hour
traffic in gridlock becomes all but useless in "collapse."

As far as PEP modems are concerned, a high offered load is just a lot
of bytes.  It does not matter to them whether those bytes are for 1 TCP
stream or a thousand.  The modems will be presented with a high load in
both directions, and will switch to large packets.  Once they have
switched to large packets, the modem-to-modem link does not "collapse"
any more, does it?

The latencies of interactive SLIP traffic over a pair of PEP modems
running large packets are kind of painful.  As long as the offered load
is not above the modems throughput, that latency will be about 7
seconds (3500 byte buffers in the modems) plus any host queue
time--call it around 10 seconds.

These kinds of latencies happen in other circumstatnces.  For example,
take a pair of Cisco routers and a 56K line.  Run a TCP based file
transfer over the link between a pair of computers with 60K TCP
windows.  At the same time, try to do some interactive stuff.

I seem to recall Tyrone (from Zero One) saying that they wouldn't provide

Is it possible to find out what the differences are?  And can they agree on

Patrik,

there are many users in Sweden who dont have the problems you report
below, so it many not be due to the country.

: The problem was that they didn't connect 14400 when calling another V32bis.
: It did work when someone called me though.

Sorry for not reporting back to you on this problem. Please try AT*G0
and see if that helps 14,400 bps connections. It has helped in all cases
that I know of so far. If not, please let me know, since I would like
to try something else.

:    Another problem was to connect at all to some 2400 modems.

Please email me the modem brands of phone number you have trouble
connecting with and I'll check it out.

:    I have got two ROM-upgrades, but neither did any good.
: 
:    The fax-part worked very well.
: 
:    Anyway, if you have 30days money-back-gar., buy one and test it.

Yes, and thank you for the report.

you could use a smart getty -- which, after X amount of time spawned the
fax software (assuming by this time other callers would have logged in
via the login prompt.
