assistant: Pat, I won't be needing the flasher because I finally got the modem to accept
the flash at my friends house. I tried the AT_D1234 command prior to the
flash and after trying the flasher a dozen of times it finally took the
flash. Right now I have the 1.440-17 rom installed. Thanks for the help.

assistant: Hello,
    I have been running on my old Supra FaxModem 144i since the beginning of
time, and I was wondering if you have anything that you can give me (init
string wise) that would boost the throughput.  I was also wondering how I
would go about obtaining the Flash updates when I upgrade to a 28.8k or 38.4k
modem soon.  Making a long distance call every few weeks isn't possible
because of money limitations.  Maybe you could put the flash rom updates on
the filebone.
                             Thanks,

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi!
I'm still having problems connecting to my friends ARCHTEK SmartLink
28.8 modem!
It just won't connect no matter what we do. In fact, he pulled the modem
off of his BBS and put back his old ZOOM 14.4 just so myself and 2 or 3
other callers <i dont think they have Supra> could get on without
problems - however, my case seems to be the worse <the real issue here
is that I am an "assistant" on his board, and I need to be able to call
in and I have a feeling he wants to put the 28.8 back on the BBS>.
I have a SupraFAXModem v.32bis 14.4 external. I didn't have this problem
with my old Zoltrix RPI 14.4 internal, most likely because the zoltrix
didn't have error correction "in the picture".
Anyway, I have tried a number of strings:
AT&F2 <default for my PC & SupraFAXModems> - Modems get to end of
handshake and his modem drops the carrier, while my Supra stays offhook
and reports "DIaling"
AT&F <no error correction/data compression> - Modems connect, but I
cannot transfer files. Every few K the CPS rates drop and Qmodem says
"REPOSITIONING" and the file almost completely starts over.
AT&F M1 W2 X4 &C1 &D2 \N3 - Can connect but still have file transfer
problems.
Could anyone help? We spent over an hour trying to get these two modems
to work yesterday morning. The funny thing is that if he calls me,
everything works fine - its only when I call him that we have trouble.
Under WILDCAT!, he had his port opened to 57600. I will have to check
and see what he had it open to under the Qmodem Host we were using to
test with.
Thank you!!!
-=SK=-
BTW, his modem is internal so I don't think it could be a UART problem,
and i am lead to believe my UART is ok too, because my modem works with
every other BBS I call.

user: You are replying to All about "Rom code 1.440-18".

Write your reply.

assistant: Rom code 1.440-18 is on www.supra.com.
Also available for FREQ here, Filename: 12014418.ZIP
(SupraFax 288 w/led Version) U must be using 1440-12 or
better to use this rom code.
 -= Changes between the Supra 288 1.440-17 and the 1.440-18 ROM Code =-
1)  In Synchronous Access Mode when an EM<ecs> command was
    received the modem would switch to command mode and
    respond with "OK" without sending the EM<ecs> response
    first.  It now sends the EM<ecs> response prior to the
    "OK" response.
2)  When originating a call the modem will set the maximum
    projected data rate for the 3429 symbol rate to 33.6Kbps.
    This allows calls to USR modems to connect using the 3429
    symbol rate.
3)  The V.42bis code was optimized to improve the compression
    performance.
4)  When the country code is set to a non-US value Bell mode
    is disabled when the modem is reconfigured to a factory
    configuration.  (ie. &Fn sets B0 not B1 outside the US)
5)  The EQM thresholds that control rate renegotiations to
    higher rates were slightly decreased.  With the v1.440-17
    firmware some lines would ping/pong between a high and
    low data rate, reducing the fall forward threshold prevents
    this.
5)  When bit 5 of S192 is set the EQM connection thresholds
    are lowered, making the modem more conservative when
    choosing data rates.
6)  A problem with the datapump configuration during a V.34
    connection using the 3000 symbol rate at a data rate of
    26.4Kbps was fixed.
7)  A change was made to how MP sequences are transmitted during
    phase 4 of a V.34 connection.  This decreases the chance that
    the MP sequence will not be correctly received by the remote
    modem which causes the connection sequence to restart.
9)  The LAPM selective repeat feature (SREJ) is now enabled by
    default in all modems.

Write your reply.

assistant: Bill Reyna, responds to your question....
After flashing or whatever is stored in the modem, I use only ATZ| for the
init 1 string in the FDsetup. While I do have FAX info for the remaining
inits, they remain the same as well, meaning I *never* change anything in any
of the BBS setup, since I only require ATZ to refresh the current status,
thus you only fiddle in one area(the modem) for a good init string. I've been
quite happy with the basic init of:
AT&F2
AT&M0S95=43S192=0
save it as AT&W&W1
Basically, any time I really "fine-tuned" the init strings it usually caused
a problem for someone calling the bbs so I leave it as a simple as possible.
I have still yet to connect at 288k or higher but blame thaT on a rural phone
system, but have had solid connects with those below 288k. I too have the
latest beta flash releases and seen no down-grade of the connects, but no
real benefit neither at least I haven't noticed it. good luck -_-_-Bill
