assistant: [----------^^^^ you said the above ^^^^-----------]
Your link can accept only one number. Your modem isn't going to do anything
different if it was person it would have to hang-up and dial again to clear
the line. If you need to call a number to get into a system and then allow a
telco number string proceed to dial a number at that location you need s/w
that does that like some bbs's do to link locally at each location to bypass
ld charges, that's still something the remote location needs to help in the
process in order to be ready for that, if I understand your problem. I guess
you could enter into your dailing string commas [,,] which add 1 sec. pause
each but then you need to experiment at it for best results. -_-_-Bill

assistant: *** Quoting Simon Slater to Warren Zatwarniski dated 03-13-97 ***
Not bad, I guess! :)
I realize that. I have an external SupraFAXModem. I can see when it shifts
up, and when it shifts down. Again, what I'm complaining about is the poor
_PERFORMANCE_ on 33.6 connections. I call less than 3000cps on a 33.6
connection poor performance. If the modem is using 33.6, it's because the
line quality is good enough.
Yes I know v34 will monitor line quality, and I know that it shifts rates up
AND down depending on the quality of the line. However, this all does nothing
to explain why someone should get such low transfer speeds on a 33.6
transfer. If the line can't support it, it would shift down. Not maintain the
same speed and suffer an 800+ cps penalty.
Keeping in mind that %E0 is the *DEFAULT* (refer to your modem manual) can
you explain why my modem shifts up and down as the line quality changes? Are
you saying I should enable the auto retrain?

pause. Use as many commas as necessary: ie.
ATDT555-1212,,,,,58337475
This would dial 555-1212, pause for five seconds, and dial the string of
numbers after the commas (could be any numbers, even another telephone
number... doesn't matter)

got home the offending message was 5.7 seconds long!  Needless to say I

Hello Warren,
That rather depends on how someone has setup the modem doent it? like is
%E1 set or not? If the speed has been forced to max in order to try to
get the best poss speed from the word go, then methinks the modem will
just keep on trying at that rate until the line quality gets too bad to
continue.. and it drops carrier.
