 mostly due to the code in your supra. as far i know only zoom modems does
 this messing with supra modems. i don't know why though the only cure is to
 reset ATZ or A&F if you're stuck. i'm using 1.30-13 because of that. Nothing
 stable yet nor i've heard about a fixed code.

assistant: SFM 28.8 (Ext) <=-
It may not be your modem, but rather your front-end. I use a SFM 28.8
(flashed to a 33.6) with Portal of Power (front-end), and have had no
problems whatsoever over the last year-and-a-half. Your problem may
be line noise, or a Binkley config problem.
I don't know if this is standard for CID, but my teleco (GTE) sends
the CID info after the first ring, and before the second ring. For
Portal to permanently record it, I had to set my logging level to
Level 5. I set Portal to two rings before logging user on to the BBS,
and the SFM is set to answer on one ring.
Looking at your example above, Binkley could be timing out if you told
it to answer after the first ring. Try setting it to answer after
three rings (in your case), and/or allowing it more time to make the
connection.  I allow Portal 80 seconds, giving everything plenty of
time to intercept the CID info, go through the EMSI handshake, send
connection info, load the BBS, etc.
... Put your hands on the modem and shout HALLELUJAH!

Really aggravating when it occurs and you are not around to discover it,

I have gotten ONE (1) 33.6 connect, but they just sat there at login and
eventually hung up.  Most of the time I get 28.8 connect, or an asynchronous
sort of connect that's 28.8 on one end, and 26.4 on the other.

This gets little off topic, but since my problem wouldn't have started
without the Supra I'll try it here.
1st- totally on topic-- running win3.11 under dos3.22
supra 336e works fine with netscape and msie on com1
binkley can't find it, but works great with the 14.4 on com2
2nd- added a Plug & Pray (pray first curse foreverafter) sound card. the
sound card drivers are totally incompatable with the Intel CM that the supra
needs for initialization. any hope for the sound card or IDE CDRom that came
with it short of upgrading the motherboard to one with a PnP bios?

Error correction code has to deal with line quality not just only a copper
