A couple of days before I read that someone was having
difficulties connecting a Practical Peripherals PM14400FXSA
with USR Dual Standard modems.

I just got my 1.21 EPROM and true enough my modem only connected
at a carrier speed of 4800 bps after I installed the new EPROM.

I think I'll put back my old 1.15 EPROM.

For those with a PM14400FXSA who wants to confirm this
you can call UT-Austin modem pool at 512/475-9996.

Yes indeed, there is a 68000 in there.  I don't see how you could miss it
as it is huge :)  It is right next to the EPROMs.

In case of the Digicom Scout Plus Mac package it switches between 
fax/voice like this:

Incoming fax calls are answered directly. If you receive an incoming
voice call a little screen will pop up on the Mac saying something like
"You received a voice call, please pick up your telephone receiver".
When you pick up the receiver, the modem will switch off and release
the line, so that you can complete the voice call.

Did you set the kermit flow-control to hardware (RTS/CTS)

There's really nothing that's impossible.  Given enough money and
time, it is certainly "possible" to upgrade an E to an E+.  It's also
"possible" to upgrade a 286/10 to a 486DX2/66 without getting a new
motherboard.

The question isn't whether it's possible or impossible.  The question
really is whether it's PRACTICAL.  Just as it isn't practical to
upgrade your 286 to a 486 without getting a new motherboard, my
feeling is that it isn't practical to upgrade your E to an E+.  Sure,
you could pull out your 'scope and your soldering iron and, with
several hours' work, replace the appropriate parts in an E to turn it
into an E+.  But most of us consider our time somewhat valuable.  In
the time it would take you to make the modification, you could
probably go out and earn the difference between the cost of a DIY
upgrade and the cost of a new E+.  Assuming, of course, you are the
sort of person with the requisite skills to actually perform the DIY
upgrade.

What's more, if you buy an E+, you can then sell your E to someone
else and recover part of the cost of the upgrade.  And you end up with
a new modem that still has the 5-year warranty.  If you perform the
DIY upgrade, you will definitely void your warranty.

This is pretty much the same reason that ZyXEL/Zero One doesn't offer
an upgrade.  The "upgrade" would probably consist of taking out your E
board and putting in an E+ board.  If you're going to replace the
whole innards of the modem, you might as well replace the shell and
the power supply and end up with an entire new modem, instead of
something as useless as a bare E board.

>(you could sell the developer's kit with an upgraded DSP memory

Except from what Tyrone and others have said, the differences aren't
confined to just the piggyback DSP memory card.  A faster 68000 is
used (although I'm not too pleased with the fact that they're running
a 16MHz 68000 at 20MHz...), as well as a faster DSP.  This is *not* a
trivial, swap-a-few-socketed-chips upgrade, kids.

The Zyxel modems have the capability to distinguish between the various
distinctive ringing patterns the telco can generate, and to answer the
phone only for those ring patterns desired.  Nice feature.  Unless
I'm missing something, tho, a _really_ useful companion to this feature
isn't available: the ability of the modem to report *which* ring pattern
was detected.

Is there a way to get the modem to report this, or might Zyxel consider
adding this function?

Yes, that's quite possible.  Whether or not the software would be 
portable to different modems depends on whether or not TR-29.2 can 
agree on a standard digitized audio coding scheme for the modems. 
The current draft of the standard has the coding left entirely up to 
the modem manufacturer.

My apologies if this is the wrong newsgroup... I am new to this group.

I have a Telebit Trailblazer Plus.  It only supports PEP mode for baud rates
higher than 2400.  I have heard rumors of a ROM upgrade that allows it to

Do these various upgrades exist and if so, are there any problems with them?

BTW, what is the difference between v.32, v.32bis, and v.42?

I've been out of touch with the modem scene lately, but the last upgrade I had
was 1.15, and it was flawless. Is that the last version you had as well?

If you find out any info, please post it.

Usually the fax/voice switching is done upstream of the fax/modem. The 
switching (voice/electronics) is done by a switch that detects the 
presence of fax tones. If they are not present, it rings the phone; if 
they are, it rings the fax.

A fax/modem is usually a reference to a modem with the ability to send, 
and sometimes receive, faxes. That capability is pretty much standard in 
high-speed modems, and common even in the 2400 bps units.

Keywords: zap,uds,digicom

Organization: We don't need no stinkin' batches!


The joys of living in florida!.

Last night a lightning strike took out two v.32 modems I had set
up in my house.  And yes, they were run through a lightning protector.
The strike also made my two line phone into a one line phone with
additional 2nd line force busy option, and changed one of my TVs
into a video (no sound) monitor.  Sigh.

Anyway, One of these modems is a prototype v.32 that Digicom made
for Ark Electronics.  The power transformer is dead.  The other
V.32 is a UDS V.3225.  It seems to almost completely work.  It
powers up, it can run an AT&T0 loopback with no problems.  An ATA
makes plenty of noise.  But when you do an ATDT, all I hear is 
static.  My guess is that one of the relays is toast.

I suspect that lightning came in the power.  took out the digicom,
the proceeded thru the phone lines to take out other stuff.

So now I need some questions answered.

1) Could UDS fix this modem for a reasonable price ( <$100 )
2) barring that, can I find replacements for the relays
   which are a type I've never seen before.  These are
   ETAL P1200's.  I suspect they are solid state relays
3) Does anyone know the pinout of the 10V 2 Amp AC power
   transformer used by the old 12"x12"x4" sized digicom
   V.32.  I have to see what happens if power is applied
   before seeing how damaged it is.

Any info people might have would be appriciated.

The only charge I'm aware of is the flat amount to cover return shipping
costs.  Unless the user causes damage to the modem, I don't think PPI has
any other charges.

ZyXEL USA told me that CID problems on GTD-5 and DMS-100 exchanges was not
fixed even in release 5.05.

This has to do with the GTD-5 and DMS-100 using flash ringing: the exchange
is free to start ringing at any point during the 2-second ring, rather than
at the beginning.

Suggestions on how to improvethis have been fowarded to Tawain, but I suspect
that it will be a while before it's fixed. (please someone, prove me wrong)

	I tried H, J, and some other rom set and had problems with all of 
them. When I use uucico my suprafax is unable to connect to incoming calls
unless I power it down for a while. I have an RMA# and am returning it and

Thanks Gwen. Like I said, I had faith in #3. At least it answers the phone now.

I recently got the program IS16550.ZIP from hobbes (ftp-os2.nmsu.edu);
its a dos-based program to detect which type of uart is on your serial
port; I quote the following from the docs:

IS16550 will determine whether an NS16550AN UART is installed in a
system. It can check serial ports COM1 - COM4. If you do not specify the
port(s), COM1 will be checked. You can specify one or more serial ports
in one run of the program. 
     
For example, if your system has two serial ports, you could enter:
     
  IS16550 at COM1 and COM2 ?
 
Yes, you can type it as a whole sentence if you wish. Or you can make it
as terse as:
 
  IS16550 1234
 
to check all four ports.

end quote;

I think its in /pub/os2/all/comm but don't quote me!

Aren't you comparing a single user OS application against a multiuser
one which supports networking?
