Write your reply.

assistant: Okay let me see if I can clear this up:
        +MS=protocol,automode,min rate, max. rate
        The protocol is the preferred (or the protocol it wants to
        try first)
        The automode is wether or not protocols other than the
        preferred are acceptable.
        min. is the lowest carrier rate in any protocol.
        max. is the  highest carrier rate in any protocol.
        So if you want VFC only carriers try +MS=rvfc,0,14400,19200.
        If you just don't want V.34 carriers and you want ANY other
        protocol so long as it uses a 19200 to 1200 carrier rate,
        then use this:
        S110=6+MS=rvfc,1,1200,19200
        Bit 3 in S110=0 toggles V.8/V.34 support and setting that
        bit to 0 disables this support.

isn't an init string in the modem software for this modem, but I can
change my modem.ini to reflect anything I want.  Any good ideas?  I have

retrains.  (One BBS it did this on is also using the Supra 28.8 external
with the 1.440-18; the other using a USR v.34)
(BTW, I did finally manage to get a connect at 31.2k, but not with the
support BBS.  For some odd reason, the best I get there is 26.4k.)

Write your reply.

assistant: It could be that you have an older Supra modem that uses the mechanical type
relay instead of the solid state surface mount type. The mechanical type
makes a clicking noise when going on and off hook there is no way around
this. The suface mount relays are quiet.  If you look inside your modem and
somewhere on the top by the switch you'll see numbers if they say 30-0087-3
then you got the modem that clicks cause it has the mechanical type
relay....I know my supra 14.4 clicks when I dial I just get use to it until I
can upgrade to a 28.8
