assistant: Hey, I'm aware of the s11=50 command, but it's inbetween each dial (i.e. dial
number - then wait 5 seconds - then dial again)  If your right that it's an
FCC, Supra is the only one following it.  They're the only company that I've
seen with this delay, and the BBS that I co-sysop at had a 144 Supra
ax/Modem
and it didnt' have the same problem, that's why I'm assuming that it's just a
switch.. Oh well I'd appreciate it if you do happen to find out if you could
let me know.. Thanks

It's got to the point it will answer and promptly drop the user as soon

its in for repairs. Bought it about this time last year. I also tried
using it to call out with and can't do any better than 14.4 connects
(and yep, its cabled to 16550 uart card). I didn't buy this one on the

user: You are replying to All about "Connect troubles".

Write your reply.

assistant: Since upgrading to the V.34+ firmware I have had a lot of connect troubles.
Several of my users (even one with a 2400 modem) report problems connecting.
Simiarly, my outbound calls are much less reliable. When talking to a
Dataplex V.34 (Australian brand, non-Rockwell based) the modem 75% of the
time begins the V.34 response sequence too late, and the remote modem has
already moved on to the 2400 connect tone.
Also, despite "AT+MS=RVFC,1,300,28800" the modem will still attempt V.34.
This has been a bug for quite a while. Similarly on some occasions (not sure
with the current firmware) the modem will do MNP 5 despite %C2 being set.
Sometimes ATM1 does not enable the speaker on this firmware.
Betas 17 and 18 seem more problematic than 14, which is what I'm now using.
Also I get a lot of retrains and lost carriers that never happened before.
My Supra V.FC is still rock solid connecting to anything, including the
abovementioned Dataplex.
I will probably have to remove the V.34+ firmware.

Hamish

user: You are replying to Patrick Moore about "Caller ID".

Write your reply.

assistant: Patrick...
I'm still having a tremendous amount of problems with AT#CID=1 and the
Supra 28.8 (33.6) external modems.  Ever since Supra upgraded from the
VFC (in which caller id worked FLAWLESSLY) the same problem continues to
occur.
It seems that when a call comes in when CID is set the modem will simply
send a hangup string right after the first ring.  This is a sporadic
problem.  It occurs about 20-25% of the time.  It happens whether a com
program, like Front Door, is running or whether NOTHING is running.
I've removed Front Door from memory and called the phone number which is
connected to the Supra.  Theoretically the number should just keep
ringing and ringing but it will ring once and then, click, it hangs up.
When I remove CID under these circumstances it will keep ringing, just
like its supposed to.
Yet in the majority of occasions it works just fine.  But there is some
init string I must have in NVRAM that is telling the modem to hang up
when CID is present.  I'm baffled!#$%  The modem works flawlessly when
CID is removed.  I'm running beta 18.
Also I'd like to make a comment about the change over with Diamond from
Supra on the web site.  I can't find the betas where they normally were
anymore (under What's New).  That's become a little annoying :(.
Thanks,
Paul

Interesting. I did not receive any Email reply either after several requests.
For me the last time I bought Supra, only because of their (now) bad customer

Would you be so kind to post the Fax number here? To wait in queue on the

I will try to get the data-pump upgrade, but for the rest I am really through

I agree the 2 are compatible.  I own both and they work perfectly with each

If I could get my Supra to quit crashing, I'd agree.  It's crashed 3x in
the last 2 weeks, on v.34 connections to 3 different users.  My Courier
has never crashed in 2 years.  I'm hoping this is just a bug in the current
Supra flash.  I really do want this modem to work.  When it is working, it
works very well.

The problem has been in the reverse direction Gary, ie. a Supra calling a

Those are rates more typical of 28.8-31.2kbps links, check your diags to see
if the modems have not trained downward a step or two. With solid 33.6kbps
links you should see transfer rates for compressed data in the mid-high
3900cps range.
