assistant: Hello..
       I have a weird problem with my Supra Fax Modem, as a sysop i noticed
that once users call in < particularly 28.8k and abv, sometimes it happens to
14.4 users too > my modem Retrains and my user thinking my BBS has hung,
drops carrier. My modem is a Supra Fax Modem 28.8 flashed to 33.6 with the
latest rev 25 flashrom update. How do i solve this problem?
Regards
Keith Lee
PS: is the any command to speed up the modem's reactions ie: dialing kinda
slow when you press ALT D in Intermail terminal.

If you can, do an AT%q2 after the disconnect. (I think that's right! <g>)...
it's the one that'll report the disconnect reason. See what it tells you as

 It could be that the modems are having trouble with the connection.
 Perhaps the modem is trying to retrain, and it just can't do it...There
 should be a command in the Supra manual to turn off the re-train
 feature. Make sure your init. string is set to AT&F2 <IBM PC> for best
 results or AT&F1 if you are using a Mac. Did you have this problem
 before?
