assistant: *** Quoting Bill Reyna to Warren Zatwarniski dated 02-05-97 ***
Hmmm... what type of connection do you get? Is it a 33.6? I've found the 33.6
connections to be unstable and ridiculously slow. I get much faster transfers
at 31.2 than 33.6... I remember reading a review in a magazine where they
compared various modems, and the Supra was the SLOWEST modem of them all. Not
by just a few cps, but closer to 1000cps slower.
It was the Express modem they were testing, and there results were much like
what I've personally found.
Let us know what it reports as the reason.
When you make a boot disk, what is it that you're changing during the bootup?

I get 28.8 and lower, usually 21.6 and overall it works until it decides to
drop carrier. I don't see why and my tweeking seems to help, but now instead
of 1-2 min. online, I may last 5min.
^^^\..In response to../^^^
The ats86 reports 000, but then I have to reboot to get the system up and
running so it may clear any status.
 [----------^^^^ you said the above ^^^^-----------]
I run a bbs and leave alot of that out, plus any other setting that maybe
used once in a while, so I only leave in what's absolutly needed for Windows
and general system. The internet dialer is from TotalAccess provided by
Earthlink and once that runs, I switch to Netscape 3.0. My SupraFAX288 has
always worked in any other comm. pgm. but seems to fail under NS3.0. I
beginning to wonder if all those inet graphics is too much for the modem. I'm
about to reach for Earthlink's tech support and will give it a whirl, but I'm
not going to fiddle forever, if they can't come up with a solution, I'll drop
them. I really don't think the Supra is at fault but it's that or the inet

I have a similiar problem with my supraexpress 33.6, it only happens with my

with no problems at all.  I think maybe your modem and your ISp modems don't
work well together.
My link with the Internet world just seems to hang, Still online but no
action, no nothing after 1min, sometimes 10min, sometimes I could be on for
half an hour.  so at the moment I am contemplating switching ISP's (again)

That's an easter egg type of thing, you can set it for that if you like, it
does no harm to be displayed instead of "OK". However, I can't remember what

well I have discovered a few things since I left the last message, I have
forced my connect to 31200 and I no longer hang.  I believe my problem and
maybe yours was that my serial port on my computer (or the computer itself)
cannot handle speeds above 31200.  I found my old service provider only had
288 modems, the new service provider has 33.6 + so when I connected at 33600
my computer could only handle the fast speed only so long, then get jumbled
up and eventually hang or drop carrier.  I do still get the odd drop carrier
tho only if I am running several internet applications at one time (ie
browser,ftp,irc) other than that thing have been going smoothly for me.
 I would check the max serial speed on your system, it may be the source of
all your problems.
