I have a SupraFAXmodem 288 V.34 External.... was upgraded from a V.FC
last year. Tried using the DOS Flasher... reports the following:
SupraFAXmodem 288
V1.000-12-V34_DS
Modem doesn't support FLASH
Can't upgrade modem
Result of ATI7 shows datapump
RC288DPi  Rev 04BC
What do I need to do?????:)

assistant: Hello All!
I'm interested in logging the connect/signal stats during my connects, and
wondered whether anyone is doing it. It looks like what I want to use is the
%Q and the %Q1, but I don't know how to use them with Binkley. The aftercall
verb doesn't seem to work as the connection is terminated and unlike the %Q2,
nothing is stored.
I'm considering trying them (%Q%Q1) in the answer string. Any ideas?

user: You are replying to All about "problems with the latest non-beta flash 23:15:5307/04/96".

Write your reply.

assistant: I picked up the latest flash rom off the Supra web page. I captured my
previous settings and then flashed the modem with the latest version. I did
the &F2 and &W&W1Z and power cycled the modem. Everything appeared to work
100%, EXCEPT for when I called my ISP.
As far as I know, they're running some sort of rackmounted USR setup. The
problem was that I simply could not maintain a reliable connection,
regardless of what the speed was that I connected at. It would simply drop
carrier after a couple of minutes. I think the longest I kept a connection
going with them was about 15 minutes.
I checked and rechecked my config. Nobody reported any problems when calling
the BBS.
I flashed my modem with the 09 version and now everything seems to be fine.
I'm not sure what the problem is with the -12 version, but it's *VERY*
unstable with my modem. Anyone else having the same problems?

assistant: Arrrgh!  Read more carefully...
...and, though it does show that I do have 33.6kbps capability..."
What I meant by that was that my modem DOES register the 201 function.  And,
if I set my S191 low enough, the display even shows 31 (for 31,000bps), but
is absolutely worthless in this mode.  S191=126 (and as low as 124) seems to
do about as good as can be expected.
As long as I get 3000+ cps Xfers, I couldn't care less if it said 28, 31, 26,
or 24.  the LED display don't mean nuthin' to me... it's the cps that counts!

For some strange reason, my modem (with the -12 flash) can't maintain a

although I'm getting fewer connects above 28.8...
I hope there's an update! :)

       Subject: problems with the latest non-beta flash upgrade
    Your problem described below is the same as mine, calling three
    different BBSs - except I don't have the 09 beta, and an earlier
    28.8 FLASH doesn't install, so I can't fall back. And of course
    SUPRA support is on a extended 4th of July holiday...
    It's a real PITA, especially as I believe at least one BBS has
    auto lock-out of those who drop carrier x-times. I tried several
    permutations of setup to solve the problem (none of which worked,
    and all of which locked up and dropped carrier), and finally ended
    up (apparently) unable to access the BBS at all.
    I'm using an external 288 FAXmodem.
                                take care...  Larry

assistant: Hello.  My friends and I have SFM 28800 with the 04 ROMS.  We upgraded to the
newest ROM which is supposed to allow 33.6 (14401201.EXE).  Ever since that
we experience ALOT of DATA CRC ERRORS during file transfers.  Can you help me
out?  We have never had ANY of these errors until this latest ROM upgrade?
Is there a way we can go back to an older ROM or a AT command we have missed
that will fix this?  All of out modems are the same and I think they all also
have the same NVRAM settings.  We upgraded the ROM, Powered them off and on,
ran AT&F2&W&W1Z, Then Typed ATM0L0\A3S7=60S11=50W2S95=175&W
Please help me someone as this is really frustrating.
