With this setting you do not give yourself much scope for the gains to be
made by v42bis data compression.
As stated in a previous message I got 12,000 cps on a large text file
recently with the port at 112,000. With a port speed on 38400 your maximum
will be reduced to about 40000 cps.

I get mostly compressed files plus any benefits are enjoyed in a solid

BGFAX has the setup for FD2.12 in their docs. All the steps are there,

nothing else has changed.
I am not complaining, it is nice to have it working again, but I wonder when
it will quit working correctly again!?!?!   Has anyone else ever seen a

Also, this modem is plugged into an UPS and also has a APS telecom line

I need some help here to find if anyone else is having problems with
USR Sportster 336 voice modem connecting to their SupraFaxModem or Rockwell

Only Certain USR sportsters seem to have this problem.
When the mailer answers the usual handshake tones of V34 are sent. then when
you expect the "CONNECT 28800" etc to appear nothing happens. and carrier is
lost within  30 secs or so.
Can anyone confirm this finding.

 When i called a LD data modem (signal still slow) i cannot get the VFC to
answer to the tone. If i enable V34 it gets it perfectly. I wonder if the

        "DESIGN DATABASES AND DRIVE MICROSOFT ACCESS"
Last year I taught a night school class which deal with
database design and the use of Microsoft Access.
The students were mainly business people wanting to make
practical use of either Access 2.0 or Access for Windows
95. Some students wanted to be able to manage hobbies or
sports organisations.
Their first problem was to design their database, then
they wanted it in action as quickly as possible. Existing
textbooks were expensive, did not deal with design, and
contained more than the basic essential information.
The notes I wrote as courses proceeded have
been compiled into a learning guide for those who want to
build a database quickly.
Should you be interested in a copy of the learning guide
"Design Databases and Drive Microsoft Access"
the cost is US $29.95, which includes package and postage.
