i'm trying to connect a USR Courier to the serial port on a DECstation

serial port in /etc/ttys to use 8bit.19200.  i read somewhere that i
wouldn't be able to use hardware flow control (?).  what would be the
optimum settings for the modem, assuming it was talking to another USR

HELP!!!!!!!!

 

      I am in great need of the proper INIT codes & fossil driver

parameters to correctly configure a ZOOM 14.4 modem/fax to work on

a Remote Access 1.11+ Bulletin Board. Nothing I have done so far

has worked! 

 

      Initially I installed the modem & set all of my settings

within RA to 38400. Using the basic Init codes that are supplied

with the bbs the following occurred: (1) We could not get a 14.4

connection to work at all. When a 14.4 modem called in we got a

connect message on both ends but nothing would happen after that.

Both ends would just sit idle after the connect message.

    

     (2) When a 2400bps modem would call in the modem attached to

the bbs echoed a connect of 38400(why not 2400?). After the 2400bps

connection was established we noticed mysterious distortions of our

bbs menus. At first we thought it was only line noise but the

distortions(i.e broken lines, etc) were happening in the same

places all of the time. I figured that the problem was that for

some reason the bbs thought it had a connection of 38400 and was

sending the data at 38400 but the modem on the other end could not

keep pace and therefore the distortion was occurring because the

two modems were "out of sync". To alleviate this problem I

consulted the ZOOM manual and came up with the following INIT

string: "AT&F&C1&D2E0X4\N1\G0%M0Q080S0=MO". This init string solved

my mysterious distortion problem. 2400 & 1200 callers were able to

call with no problems & the BBS modem properly said "connect 2400

or 1200". BUT when I called with the 14.4 again STILL NO RESPONSE

the connection was established at 38400 but the result was the same

as before.

 

      PLEASE if you have any experience with Remote Access, the X00

fossil driver, ZOOM 14.4, any Hayes compatible, or have any ideas

that might help please send me EMAIL. My address is:

domenic@brahms.udel.edu or on prodigy HXDK93A. Thanks in advance

Don't know about SRPINT, but I *know* that MCI charges according to this

they informed me that they started charging after 30 seconds.

It could be that you are not using hardware handshaking. You should enable
hardware (RTS/CTS) handshaking in both the modem and in your software.
You should disable software handshaking. You also probably want to lock your
serial port at 19200 or 38400. And finally if you don't have a 16550
UART then you should get one.

Reply-To: David Mason <vid@zooid.guild.org>

Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1992 16:37:35 GMT


For a specialty payroll application, the company I work for requires a
Motorola Sync-Up modem. These are specialty bisynconous modems, which range
from 2400 to 9600 baud.

The bank with the payroll system gave us the name of two dealers to talk to
for a price quote. I called each and recieved some price quotes, and was quite
shocked at the costs involved.

I'm fully aware that these are specialty modems, and that they may require
special knowledge, and I'm aware that we are going to pay more for these
modems. However, I and the company I deal with try to avoid proprietary, over
the barrel type situations as much as possible, so I have a few questions:

1. I was led to believe there are other modems, manufactured by companies like
Racal-Vadic and Multitech, which are compatible with the Motorola models. Are
they completely compatible, cheaper, and would we have any problems?

2. One of the things that bothered me was how little information the dealers
offered. They tried to make everything seem mysterious. What I was wondering
is if anyone knows the specific terminal program required for this type of
application, and also if there is any major difference between installing this
kind of modem and a standard Hayes compatible modem (of which I have installed
many).

3. Finally, I am looking for any dealers in Toronto, Ontario, Canada who might
be able to sell me one of these modems at a more reasonable price with
reasonable support. Among other things, the dealers who quoted us wanted to
charge us $275 and $250 for installation alone, and this is something I could
more than likely handle. I realize that in many instances you "get what you
pay for" but I have also encountered many companies which offer goods at more
reasonable prices with competent service. Surely there can't be that much
difference between a standard 14400 baud fax/modem and a 4800 baud
bisynchronous modem to justify a $1800 price difference! These are 1986
prices.

Thanks for any responses. Please reply via email, I will summarize if
warranted.

No can do...  #1, USR wont sell you just the ROMs, they want you to follow
their new (and rather pricey) trade-up plan.

#2	The Courier V.32bis and Courier Dual Standard are only differnt in
	their ROMs, but the HST also has different hardware, you cant just

Hi everyone:

I am thinking of purchasing a Intel SatisFaxtion Modem/400 and would like some
information.  I hope to be working from my house instead of the office but I
will require a FAX machine.  Someone suggested the Intel as an alternative
since it is supposed to have the best FAX capibility.  I know very little about
this.  At present I have a 2400 baud modem and the Quik Link software which is
supposed to be able to send and receive faxes, but I've never been able to send
one.  I haven't tryed to receive one.

At the cost of a FAX machine this sounds like a better alternative, if it will
work the way they advertise it.

Also I just purchased a program for remode connecting called Close-Up.

Any information on either the Intel or Close-Up would be much appreciated.

Sandy Warner :)

PS:  I have a 386SX, not sure if this matters or not.

Well, the problems I've had with dialtone detection were not false
negatives; i.e., failing to recognize a present dialtone.  The
problems I had were false positives; i.e., recognizing as dialtone
something that was not.  The Supra seems to think that any kind of
noise on the line, including a normal voice conversation, is a
dialtone and happily dials through it.

I suppose this is good if you're having problems getting the modem to
see dialtone, but it's not very acceptable if you have the modem
sharing a voice line and want to prevent it from dialing out if the
line is otherwise in use.

Is this really true?  Or is this only true if I manufacture and SELL
modems for connection to the public switched network?  If I
make one device and it meets FCC specs, do I really have to register
and type approve it?  I am thinking this is like building my
own computer....if I don't make it for sale, and it does not
generate excessive RFI, I don't have to submit it for part 15
testing and type approval.

By the way, I have no desire to build my own modem, what with fast
modems being so cheap these days.
