Write your reply.

assistant: The modem factory default settings (AT&F) will give you 'top
performance' but the strings you use really depend on the application.
Performance is going to depend highly on the conditions, line
limitations, and the specific 56K server you are calling into.

assistant: Hi,
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me..
After my previous modem got fried in a sudden storm I have purchased a second
hand Hayes Optima 288 V.34/VFC + Fax modem (no manual).
I run a 24hr/7day BBS (Frontdoor/Ezycom/IBM486dx33) & so far am very pleased
with this modem as most callers connections are faster than with my previous
(other brand) modem.
My problem is it's so LOUD, & I have a very small home  :(
My whole household is woken by every overnight call.
Is there some addition I can make to the ini string to quieten it a
little/lot ??
Thanks in advance for any help, I'll appreciate it very much !!

off. If you want to hear it but turn it down, try ATL0 or ATL1. The defualt

Thanks for your reply. I had a fiddle with the L's & M's & found it responded
best to the addition of L0M1, this quietened it right down, but without
making it silent, so all is well now !!
I've had a lot of trouble finding an ini string it liked in Front Door,
infact I haven't been able to sustain a connection with my Hub for more than
1min 15secs for the last couple of weeks, but this morning I finally got

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi All,
I have a Hayes Accura 56K Speakerphone modem, and use the
SmartCom Message Centre software as my AnswerPhone/Fax &
Dialling package.
I want to store L3 (Loudest Speaker Volume) and #CID=1
(enable formatted Caller ID) permanently. I have tried
entering these and then entering:
        AT&W&W1
to store them to non-volatile memory.
They do store there (I've checked by typeing ATZ and then
AT#CID? and it returns 1 instead of the default 0).
But the problem is SmartCom initialises the modem with
ATZ and then it uses AT&F to load the factory settings.
Is there any way I can amend the factory settings so that
the above preferences are used when AT&F is entered?
Even better, if anybody knows how to edit the SmartCom
scripts I could change the settings in there rather
than with the modem.
Any help much appreciated,
Mike

 That's odd.  Mine doesn't.   But it does run through a whole series of
 AT commands when it starts;  I have no idea where it stores them.
 I've had so much trouble with SmartComm and its software incompatibility
 that I've given up using it, and dug out the old mechanical answering
 machine again.
 Hayes were no help either - they agreed with the bugs (most people
 have 'em, apparently) but the fix isn't available yet.   My guess is
 it never will be.

Hi Mike,
Go to "modem manager/options/modem setup strings". The editor windows not to
clear but this should let you add your extra settings.
Does this #CID=1 setting work? I've never tried it as I asumed you have to
pay BT for the privelidge of knowing who's talking to you.

Write your reply.

assistant: Sorry, Tim, but you can only edit the settings for Voice Reception
 (and not Voice Transmission).
 Besides, these settings generally get 'vandalised' later on in the
 comms. routine with AT&F again :((((
 Yes, it does. But not too well with v.0.519 firmware - less flakey
 performance is experienced with the 0.520 firmware flash. And, yes,
 you do have to pay BT to 'switch-on' Callling Line Identification
 at the exchange.
