Write your reply.

assistant: It has been around for ages, but in North America, we don't bother using this
feture because we expect all modems to automatically answer... (the tone
production i mean).  In any case, this feture works fine if you run a private
BBS, because you can tell all your users to use this tone.

Each unit is supposed to be 1/1000 of a second.  There really is a difference
in the speed between my older modem that supported S11=35 and the newer ones
that only support down to s11=50.  The difference is one that you can readily
hear, although it would be tough to measure.  At S11=35, the length of time
to dial would be under a 1/2 second.

At 35 millisec, 7 nums and 6 spaces = 13 => 455 ms  less than 1/2 sec At 50

About that, 15X35=525 msec if considering equal DTMF on/off time
durations and not counting the last off time.
As my Sysop remarked, "A msec is a msec".  I guess my question
was if the Supra manual actually indicated the number to be in
millisecs.
Of course, 'HAD to ask the sysop if msec *might* stand for some
Error Correction program by Micro$oft.... <Snicker> 'Got no
comment so I'd better go slow.....'-)

Write your reply.

assistant: I have been out of touch for several weeks, but finally got the new -23
beta and flashed it.  I still had the same problem with it.  In fact,
sometimes it would flash up that it was trying to negotiate 31.2 and
33.6.  This was with "standard" V.34 modems.  The display would then
revert to T300 and disconnect.
I tried setting S191=132 and no help.  I then set it to 136 and all
appears to work well.
What does this signify?  Is this indicative of phone line or modem
incompatibility??

assistant: Patrick,
Is there anything that can be done to improve the performance of my new
SupraExpress 336i PnP? It seems to have difficulties with transfering files
from some BBS's. At times even with a 24000 connection, file transfers
hesitate and give an overall transfer rate of 700 - 800 bps. On other BBS's,
have gotten blazing transfer rates, 3,000+. Also, haven't been able to get
anything faster than a 26400 connection. The particulars of my settings and
modem are:
Using ProComm Plus for Windows v3.0
Initialization string:
ATV1E1S0=0
OK
AT&F2&C1&D2&K3S95=3
OK
ATL1M1S7=60S11=55S0=0
The SupraExpress has ROM 50500001-001
and   V1.440-09 19
My computer is a Compaq Presario 866 with an upgraded BIOS chip and an
upgraded CPU from a 486DX@-66 to a Pentium Overdrive 83 MHz.
The modem is on COM 3 and IRQ5 (not sure on the IRQ #)
Your comments would be appreciated.
P.S. Did try software XON/XOFF but the SupraFAXmodem v.32 bis (14.4 modem) on
my Bear Cavern BBS (360) 573-2054 would accept file transfers.

Your report that DSZ does not require "unlocking" the port is good news.  My
OS/2 machine had locked port at 115200 and this speed seemed to be a problem
according to the flash docs.
But I'll give DSZ on the next upgrade.  Right now I am with the -18 code and

Write your reply.

assistant: I sent a message about this to some one a couple of weeks ago..maybe you-
 but we had some problems here and it got lost.
 I was using the fax-modem, but should translat to the Supersonic.
 I had the same thing: When in my regular terminal program, display was what
 I wanted, but in PPP it only showed RX speed. The reason is I set up with
 &F2 plus some things, in terminal; but the internet connection by default
as
 setting the modem up using &F plus some things..thus the difference.
   What I am saying is that the default of the S194 register is different
 in the two cases. I forget the  exact S194 setting that you want  and
 what I used--lost my 33k to ligntning- so can't look.
   There is a file (at336cmd.txt) ??? that gives all of the commands that
 exist..about 10 pages of them. There are more that they add every week,
 Watch this echo for things like a star-burst-screen saver setting.
  Hope this helps.
