Try 38400 as your locked rate, while FAX pgms may require 57600(?) as a
setting, 38400 has always produced good results. You can always change it if
need be, but I haven't mine for the longest time. good luck -_-_-Bill

response time(s) and responses being very bad.....for a long time. Like I
stated in another message I posted, I purchased a 14.4 (Supra) going on 3
years now, and considering all the high speed modems available at such low
prices, I would definitely want to make sure there is some support on an echo
that shares the name of the modem I purchased.
Happy Holidays.

Write your reply.

assistant: Patrick, Hello!
  I have an Amiga 3000/060, a pair of 28.8k/33.6k SupraFAXmodems and a 115k
multi-port serial card.  I'm having a problem (very frustrating) with my ISP
:(  I hope this is just a problem with my INIT string, maybe you can tell me
if that's what it sounds like to you...
  The main problem has been with getting connected and staying connected...
Half the time I cannot complete the logon process, as my automated script
never gets me past the name and password stage...  Sometimes when I have the
speaker turned on, I can tell by the sound that things are not going as they
should :(  The other half of the time, I get connected just fine, (using the
same automated script), but then get dropped anytime there's a lull in data
transfer :(  i.e. If I try to configure something while online, try to use
CUSeeMe, or read online docs, I'll get dropped within just a few seconds,
literally...
  If, on the other hand, there are alot of graphics on the screen, or I am
downloading multiple files, then the chance of a dropped carrier is lessened
greatly, (though it can still happen).  There aren't alot of retrains...
Just a sudden drop :(
  I'm using the INIT string suggested in the TermiteTCP manual:
  AT&F2E1V1M1&C1&D2
  Both of my 28.8k SupraFAXmodems (external), are flashed with 1.440-25 and
both use the same init string.  I have tried switching ports and thus have
changed 'both' the phone line 'and' modem, but that didn't solve the problem
:(  I even tried re-flashing the modems, but that made no diff either :(
  Unfortunately, my ISP has no concept of what an Amiga is, and can offer no
explaination.  I have asked what brand modem their using, but have yet to
hear back from them.  I assume they have 28.8k/33.6k USR's.
  Can you suggest any changes to my INIT string that might make for a better,
more reliable connection?  Or does this sound like something else might be
the problem?

No modem lights at all or just no receiving/sending data lights? When you
connect to you ISP are you using PPP and Windows 95? If so, are you using the
built-in dial up networking? There are some minor changes that you can make
if what is happening is like 1/2 way through a page it just stops...
sometimes for a few minutes, then picks up normally. Kinda sputters... is
that what's happening?

Hmmm, this thought has occured to me, but the time-out period would have to
be in the range of 5~20 seconds...  That's it, click!  No retrains, just a
disconnect.  I've had this service for the past 2+ months and not had a
problem until just this past week.  The ISP Techs have not mentioned a
timeout period.
Yes, AT** works for me.  Preforming an ATI3 afterwards displays the revision
of the ROMs currently installed.  I have found however, that it works better
for me to preform an AT&F2 prior to preforming an AT**.  Give that a try :)

seconds I can almost place a wager that I'll be dropped :(  My ISP responded
