Write your reply.

assistant: No it's not a problem with your ISP, since this problem did not
OCCUR until you flashed your modem.  And this is also happening with
dozens of other people on their ISP, and not all ISPs use USR modems.
Mine, for instance, uses external SFM some of them have been flashed with
the 33.6 firmware.
     From what I understand, the new v.34 IS it.  People on this echo
have been reporting above 2.88k connects with USR modems who support the
new protocol.  So I don't know what your ISP is waiting for.

However Supras and USR never do get along... so...  it could be a number of
things.  However I must disagree with you blaming it with USR (not that I'm a
USR lover..  eewww.) but the fact is that this occurs with other modems,
including Supra with Supra.

Write your reply.

assistant: Hello there!
I have been playing with BGfax, and I noticed that the software always has to
shift down to 19200 to recieve the fax.  I was wondering if you guys could
either add fax class 2.0 through a flasher (i read that it doesn't require
this shift) although if these options are hard coded into the DSP i guess
that isn't possible (though you did at 33.6 <G>..).
Thanks for a great modem,
Hans Johnson

assistant: Hello Patrick!
Last week I received the SupraSONIC-modem: a great/fine modem!!!
But I've a question about it:
I connected to a SFM 33k6 and I only got a 26k4 connection (my/his modem has
option 201).
Should I change register s191 to another value? My s191 is currently set to
128. Must I change this i.e. to 110 ??
With a USR-modem I got TX 28k8 and RX 31k2 ...
Is the light of the display contineous on or can I order the modem to put off
the light (if so: with what command) ???
These are my settings:
After flashing give the next command in terminal mode:
AT&F2&G2W1%E1s9=20s10=100s11=55s95=47s192=32s194.1=1s194.3=2+faa=1&W0&W1

Write your reply.

assistant: Grab the current 12013013.EXE file off the BBS.
        It should have FL_120UP.EXE inside.  This will flash from
        1.200-02 to 1.300-13.  Once you have 1.300-13 installed, you
        should be able to flash to 1.400-xx with the current flashers.
        (Sometimes you can't get from point A to C without going
        to point B first.)
        We sold that modem as a 28.8k unit, and we didn't think
        ANY of them would go faster (Except the Sonic, which using
        different hardware).   By a fluke, the majority of the units
        sold happened to work at 33.6k due to the parts supplied from
        Rockwell, but it could just have easily turned out that only
        the Sonic would support speeds above 28.8k.
