assistant: Greetings Clive!
Friday April 11 1997 07:03, Clive Brown communicated this to Lee Marshall:
I foundat out too, CLive. I have an early Optima v34. I originally had a VFC
under the sysyop deal, but got an upgrade to v34. However, I have found out
that
I cant get such a simple upgrade to go to 56k. Something to do with the clock
speed of the modem as I understand it.
Anyway, I wasn't impressed with the price I wasquoted to get an upgrade - I
might as well keep the modem I have ,and get another one.

Ian

Write your reply.

assistant: Deb,
   As for download errors, what kind of errors specifically? Is your
OPTIMA internal or external?  What is the model number and version?  As
for the carrier speeds you get, that really all depends on the phone
line conditions.  My carrier speeds vary anywhere from 19.K to 28.8K
typically, depending on where I call (and from where I call).  Unlike
the slower modems, V.34 modems are not designed to always connect at
their maximum carrier speed.  They are designed to get the most out of
the line that they can, and since the phone companies are not even
required to supply the bandwidth needed to maintain a 28,800 bit/s
carrier, your carrier speeds will vary, and will usually be less than the
maximum that the modem can handle.

assistant: Will the ACCURA Line also support the VOICE feature?  Or is that slated only
for the optima?  and is the OPTIMA version only going to be the business
version or is there another class of optima (non-business version)
I also read that the chipsets of Rockwell and Lucent will have a few minor
feature differences (56k download with 40k upstream; and 45k full duplex to
name a few...)  although they will be compatible...  I also read that HAYES
is leaning more towards using the LUCENT version of the chips...  Is this
true?  Just curious...
Also will ALL the 56kflex modems have FLASH ROM upgradability??
Since PPI and Cardinal are now part of Hayes and Both have X2 availablility
will there/is there a deal from those subsidieries?  If you can't answer that
please refer me to a phone number or EMAIL address that I may ask my
questions to...

Write your reply.

assistant: Greg,
    You might want to remove the S108=2 and the S37=15 from the string.
S37=15 doesn't really accomplish anything as it's telling the modem to
start negotiating for carrier at 28,800 bit/s (which it would do
anyway).  Also you would typically begin the init string with the "AT"
command &F.  If you are having problems maintaining a connection, you
might lower the maximum carrier determined by the S37 value.  For
instance, adding S37=34 to the init string instructs the modem to
initiate a carrier at no higher than 26,400 bit/s.  S37=29 sets the
maximum initial carrier to 24,000 bit/s.  A lower initial carrier speed
may make a more reliable connection under some conditions, and the
modem can still renegotiate to a higher carrier during the session if
the conditions allow it.

Alan,
   I notice on the systems you are having problems connecting with you
are getting a 'carrier 300' reported by the software.  This is obviously
incorrect, and the only times I have seen software report that with a
high speed connection is when the modem returned a carrier speed that
the software was not configured to recognize, causing it to default
down to 300.  You might try calling that system from terminal mode after
issuing an AT&FS95=60 to the modem and see what the modem reports as a
carrier speed.  Do you know what kind of modem is on the host system you
are calling into?
