I do the same here, but with opposite results from you.  My ISDN analog side
is cleaner and more reliable.  I use a couple of Optima 28.8 v.34's, one on a

You shouldn't need to change a single thing.
Not here.  How does the ISDN side work on a 64k ISDN connection?  You can

assistant: Hi.
I have a Hayes Optima 28800 VFC/V34 + FAX.
Currently I am running Frontdoor and Renegade BBS.  However, I lost my stored
profile and I don't have my instructions for my modem anymore.  I'm
xperience
a TONNE of problems.  If I try calling certain systems I get repeated connect
attempts before finally connecting.  And when I do connect there seems to be
buffer problem, as it will display a chunk of information, pause, and then
continue.  The connection will randomly drop, and my end will not detect the
drop for a long while afterwards (approx 1.5 minutes).  I find it impossible
to connect to some mail, and as I am active in netmail, it really is costing
me unnecessary phone charges.
If someone could give me an INIT string that would work, I would be more than
grateful.

assistant: * Crossposted in: HS_MODEMS - High Speed Modems
 * Crossposted in: USR_MODEMS - US Robotics Modems Echo
  Okay, here's the problem...
  A SysOp of a BBS I am on has a USR 14.4 modem (thats all I know about it)
  and the command ATH1 to take the modem off the hook; according to them,
  will not work correctly... Rather, it will not work at all...
  So when they are using the computer and someone tries to call in, it will
  ring and ring because they can't get the modem off hook. Is there an
  alternate command other than the plain old ATH1 to tell the modem to pick
  up the line?
  Thanks in advance...

    How did you lose the stored profile in the modem?  If something else
has overwritten other settings, then you might want to go back to a very
basic setting.  Unfortunately I have not been able to locate a specific
init string for frontdoor, but you might want to issue an
AT&F&C1&D2W2&W&W1 to the modem and give it a try.  I'm sure someone who
is running this exact same software will be able to give you a more
exact string.

Write your reply.

assistant: at
speed
carrier
lower
To be perfectly frank, I don't know.  However, some phone line
conditions fluctuate enough to initially 'fool' the modem into thinking
that the line can support a higher carrier speed than it actually can.
Conditions may change in such a manner as to throw the modem for a loop
with renegotiations, etc. as to cause an eventual lost carrier.
This might be what is happening in your case. Forcing the modem to a
lower initial carrier speed often solves the problem.
