Write your reply.

assistant: Greetings all!
As those of you who are recieving mail here know I have been struggling to
get the SupraExpress to work in a bbs environment.  Here is what I have ended
up with:
I run RemoteAccess 2.02 along with FrontDoor 2.12sw and FMail 1.0g.  The
system is set-up to run in what is commonly called "shell to mailer" mode.
In this senerio be sure you have RA answer the modem.
In FrontDoor 2.12 and RemoteAccess 2.02 you use the init string:
atm0&c1&d2w2&w
I am not sure if the &w is needed for modems without nvram... can anyone
verify that it IS needed?
Next, in your batchfile that runs the bbs you need to place the command:
echo atm0>com# (where # is equal to the comport you have the modem connected
to).
This command needs to be at every label in your batchfile just prior to the
command being executed by your batchfile.
Seize the day!

Hi Rick
Yes, no problems.
But as the SupraExpress has no NVRAM it is necessary to make ALL
required/desired settings each time the modem is turned on.
Simple enter the appropriate initialization string for your modem.
e.g. FDSETUP: AT&F2LMW2
Reset to (PC)Factory Default, Low Speaker Volume,Speaker Always OFF, Report
Connection Speed.
DO NOT rely on ATZ.

33.6 and all USR 33.6 modems seem to have a hanging problem.  The connection
seems to freeze and then continue later, in a minute or two.  We've shut off
auto retrain and auto rate renegotiation and it doesn't seem to help.
    Is this a common probelm or am I just missing something.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED..... Many of my users are running USR 33.6's and

also very unhappy.

  If I remember right the Express modem does not have NVRAM, so you cannot

Perhaps you could try these settings:
