assistant: As a long time HAYES sysop, i'd -really- like to get in on the trade in deal
for the OPTIMA Business Class 56K external modem.
I -usually- buy my modems thru the Sysop plan, but your trade-in deal seems
to be a better deal.
PROBLEM;
I don't use VISA or MASTERCARD. And according to your trade in page, that's
all you'll accept.
I do have a DISCOVER card, or money order.
Anything ya'll can do to help out ? (hopefully before the trade-in deal runs
out).

assistant: Hiya Pandemonium!
 * I seem to remember Pandemonium Pandemonium shouting to All:
Not bad modems these Accuras, I'm running two here, never had a single
roblem
with 'em :)
Anyway, for the BBS I use the following init string..
AT&F&C1&D2W0S95=1S38=2M0
The M0 at the end just turns the speaker off.. M1 turns it on until carrier
s
detected (the normal setting).
Anyway, that init string should make the modem send simple "CONNECT XXXXX"
messages (X being the baud rate) instead of the seriously over the top
standard
result codes which confuse some mailers and BBS packages..
Hope that helps.. :-)
C Ya Pandemonium!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello Michael !
I have a problem with my Hayes Accura on the BBS.
I have had the problem looked at and the following are the results obtained
by another person who lives very close to an exchange.
Consultation between the two modem guru's resulted in a query about proper
line matching.
My question is therefore : Are the Australian modems properly matched to line
or do they have a "generic" line matching stage?
My situation is that I live approx 4Km from the telephone exchange in a
semi-rural area.
The first results below are bad. The second call was attrocious (and
ypical).
The Telco (Telstra) have checked the line very thoroughly including doing a
"line sweep response" which showed the line was within the limits.

I'm going to defer to our Australian office on this one as they will know the

assistant: Greetings,
I have an external Hayes Accura 56K + Fax; recieved it via the TradeUp
program on the web site.  I know there is a Users Guide on diskette,
ready for loading in Windows version X ? whatever.
Is there an off chance I can get a bound printed manual for this unit?
Hayes os./support won't even acknowledge my daily requests about a
manual.  Possibly when the ITU-T ratifies the 56k specs?
I would really appreciate some feedback on this, a simple "yes" or "no"
would suffice.
Many Thanks,

assistant: FCC regs.  The way that line levels are calculated, MuLaw vs A-Law
An attempt to cut down on the possiblilty of cross modulation between
one line and another.
But don't know why FCC approved 56k server-side modems are apparently
still capable of transmitting at 56k tho.  Client side, because it
still is only V34 when transmitting, doesn't have this restriction

Write your reply.

assistant: Zone 2 authorised 'user' flags:-
 Modem capability flags
 X2C       US Robotics x2 client. A modem having this capability
           can connect to an X2S-capable modem and potentially
           achieve 56 kbit/s throughput in the direction X2S to X2C
and normal V.34-type througput in the opposite direction.
 X2S       US Robotics x2 server. A device having this capability
           is mandatorily connected to the telephone network using
           a digital interface (probably ISDN) and can connect
           either to another X2S-capable device or to an
           X2C-capable device. In the former case, a symmetrical
           64kbit/s link can be established. The latter case is the
reverse of what is described under the X2C flag.

Can you tell me what command to issue in terminal mode to find out what
Code Version or revision I have in my Accura 56K pc modem?  This is a
TradeUp unit and the "diskette online docs" only refer to Accuras up to
33.6k Accuras. (the modem came with no manual, only the docs on disk.)
Is there a new version of Flashrom code released for this unit yet, or
is it one of the units that require a return to Hayes for chip exchange?
(my modem info is below)
Also, is there a way to aquire a users manual for this modem or find a
specific file on the Hayes BBS or WWW site that has all S register
commands listed and what function they control?  The documentation on
diskette doesn't cover all S registers.  I believe there are 95 listed
in my at&v command, but only 36 or so covered on the docs on the disk.
My units info per sticker on box shipped in is:
