Whew, I thought I was alone with this problem.  I just noticed this same
problem after upgrading form -18 to -23 beta code a week ago.  I keep seeing
the phrase 'B triggered' after I connect when I dial out on the Supra modem!
It really freaks out the OS/2 internet dialer and it is impossible to dial a
BBS with 'B triggered' inserting itself on a regular basis into the text
stream :(  It doesn't seem to happen on inbound calls, only outbound.  It
seems to also interfere with file transfers (on outbound calls)...for those
that have noticed poor cps rates after upgrading to -22 or -23 beta codes.
I've tried changing the init strings for my dialer and my BBS a few times,
but it keeps putting 'B triggered' in there :(
PS.  this message is also directed to any techies working with the supra beta
     team...this appears to be a serious bug!

Hi Jason. As luck would have it, it's your Sentry program that I'm trying to

But in both of your examples, you also show a NMBR entry. The information

That is nice. I have wondered why the software that is provided with to
Sonic does not have speaker phone capacity. Of course I can hardly hear
it now even with L2 set. Does OS2 provide enough output volume from the
modem speaker?
I have a new problem with Netscape. If I get a 31200 bps connect at times
Netscape 2.01 will either crash to DOS or get a GPF. 28800 or 26400 works
OK. I usually get a corrupted "fat.db" file which SCANDISK can
reconstruct. It will also sometime crash when when using Netterm for
"telnet" and leave lost clusters from the capture file. Got any idea why
this is happening?

want the Sonic <plus it costs more as you noted above>. The BBS I am
writing this message on runs a USR 33.6 on Node1 and a SupraFAXModem
33.6 on Node 3 <Node2 is for sysOp local login>. The SysOp tells me they
both work fine. I trust Supra as they have always made attractive modems
that work great and just never seem to die.  I have a 1992 vintage Supra
v.32bis 14.4 external and it works great!

assistant: I thought it's a brand new technology that is less likely to depend on the
phone quality but the switch at the phone companys?  So far none of the
