I'll add my vote for the SUPRA. I've had mine for about 3 months and it is the
best buy I have made in a while. It does everything I want it to do. Maybe the
phone/fax switch - or whatever - doesn't work on the first call...I dunno....I
don't use that feature......never tried it. When I get the ROM upgrade,I'll
bung it in and see how it goes. If i don't like it, I'll put the old ROM back
in 'cause IT WORKS VERY WELL.

I have to agree with you on this.  The Supra 14.4 FaxModems offer
throughput in the same range as the USR V.32bis modems as well -- for
a fraction of the price.

I have mentioned this to Greg Andrews..

I like the Worldblazer -- I just wish the v.32bis throughput was
as high as the USR v.32bis modems -- if so, I would replace all 
my modems with Worldblazers..

Hi everyone!

I hope I'm in the right group for this:

I've got an old 9600baud Modem at home, a Phillips SDV231F-9,6
It was used to connect a PC to the Varsity Network, meaning it was
always online. Now I'm trying to hook it up to the phone network.

Does anyone have any info about this modem? What I'm looking for

Well, in my application (PC based bbs network) the WB is as fast as (resp., if
V.42 is concerned, faster than) the USR V.32bis - at any rate with streaming
protocols like ZModem.
V.32bis/V.42 ZModem transmissions average up to 1660cps now, while the USR was
limited to 1620cps (protocol startup time included, so that the raw speed is
somewhat higher).

The WB certainly has higher latency, and therefore it is not surprising that it
is somewhat slower on V.32bis uucp transmissions without spoofing.

I was wondering..Do you still get 1600cps in windows with disk caching program 
on such as smartdrv or ncache?  In order for me to get anything higher than
1000cps in windows with my SupraFaxModem v.32bis, I always have to turn my

smartdrv.exe that I'm using, but..

For data compression to work, every bit of the compressed data must 
be received without error, in sequence, without duplication.  On 
noise-prone telephone lines, this means that an error-control 
protocol must be used.  Existing error control protocols such as 
MNP4 and LAPM are designed only for use with character-oriented 
(start/stop) data; they are, in effect, alternatives to the V.14 
non-error-control method of carrying async data on a synchronous 
physical connection.  But you say, my synchronous connection 
DOES use error control!  Unfortunately, that doesn't help, because 
the protocol must be under the control of the MODEM for data 
compression to possible.

There are two possibilities.  One is to "spoof" the terminal-to-host 
synchronous protocol in the modems.  This might be effective in a 
few limited applications, but is not general-purpose enough for me.  
A second idea is to take the synchronous bit stream from each DTE, 
convert it into a sequence of bytes that can be transported by LAPM, 
and send it through the modems as though it were start/stop data 
(including compression), recreating it as a synchronous stream on 
the other side.  That way, the modems don't "terminate the protocol" 
(spoof), but the do potentially introduce unexpected propagation 
delay when retransmission as necessary due to line noise.  It may 
also be necessary for the modems to exert flow control on the DTEs 
during retransmissions, and there is no standard provision for this 
on normal synchronous interfaces; one possibility is slowing down or 
stopping the transmit clock.

This is a very interesting area of study, and one that I hope to 
pursue more deeply during the 1993-1996 period in CCITT Study Group 
XVII (in the V.42 rapporteur's group).

Does Telebit customer support know of this experience you're having?

I've been quite happy with my WB since its upgrade to 5.01 and outside
of brownout-related power supply difficulties (which looked like a
lockup) I haven't had any problems.  You might want to check the AC
supply to make sure you're getting full voltage.

I can fax to a fax-modem, but not to a fax machine!  :-)
I use WinFAX, and umm, fax<->fax works, except the hangup sequence fails,
thus the fax is usually aborted.  Both ways, sending and receiving.  My

A simple hardware answer:
  A modem that runs on the 2 wire switched network needs additional
  hardware to accept and deal with a 4 wire telco interface.  It would
  run in the range of $5 to $10 worth of parts and 2 to 4 square inches
  of printed circuit card space in the modem.
Many "high end" modem vendors do offer modems that can be used on the
switched network and on 2 or 4 wire leased lines.  The folks who are
using "canned" chip sets and are competing for lowest price probably
can not justify the additional cost of supporting leased line.

  My feed has two Supra 14.4K's (I think) and an unkown v32bis (maybe a
Sportster?? It connects very fast.) I have a Courier v32bis. VERY often
(>50%) it takes two training attempts to get a connection. Sometimes 3. If
it goes for 4, it usually hangs up. Also, I occasionally get a non-error
correcting connection. I have to hang up then since his getty doesn't
understand that speed (he runs 38400 if error correction is on, and
connection speed if not.)

  It may or may not be line noise, but I typically don't see any pauses due
to retransmissions, or my ARQ light blinking.

Yup, I have an application on the way... The Worldblazer is $429 for

by 0/1's North American version timetable? I am sure many would be happy
happy to hear of it.

If this newer functionality is going to be charged for, then 0/1 may
not want it freely distributed, and ethical net folks do not want to be
involved in piracy, but if this is merely the next free update that keeps
everyone aware that ZyXEL is *the* company to be dealing with, then 
let us have it - even with any necessary disclaimers about no guaranteed
functionality.

ZyXEL's enthusiastic customer base is partly due to the user sponsored
FTP sites, etc, and I trust 0/1 is savy enough not to kill off a very good 
thing that is supporting them.

Yes, worked for me too, now why didn't I think of THAT? :)
Thanks!
