Write your reply.

assistant: If you're trying to dial out of a PBX or have to get
a router first then use the dial modifier command W
Such as ATD^091W<number>  Or use the 091W as a dial prefix in your s/w
2 secs default (settable by S8, subject to country config selected)
In US/Canada believe that Flash Hook is permitted.  So for BBSs
with Ringback on (one ring, go on hook, then ring again to get BBS)
use the ! command.  This would make your dialstring look like
ATD^xxx-yyy-zzz!xxx-yyy-zzz  The time your modem is back on hook
is settable by S29 range 0 - 255 tenths of a second (default 0)
I've never done this coz flash hook isn't allowed in UK
so would be interested in reports and best setting for s29= for US

assistant: No problem.  The command to wait for the second dial tone is "W" by the way..
you would use it like this
ATDT 5565656 W 4553214
That would dial 5565656, wait for another dial tone, then dial 4553214.

I sure wish I knew how to stop it, short of powering down the modem.  I had
about 10 failed long-distance poll attempt the other night because the modem
was spitting out a "B Triggered" response.  I'm calling this a bug, but I'll
have to admit this is the only bug I've found in the -25 flash.

I think I've seen this proggie, its based on a windows fax program com
tester isnt it?
If its the same program, when I tested MY modem out with it, if was ok
in the 1st part of its log, but the second part was highly misleading,
it tested for a USR modem, and reported the modem was NOT a faxmodem:-(
just apparently because my supra did not do Class 2.0 faxing, it tried
for Class 1 and reported a failure, but I've used Class 1:-) It tried
for Class 2 and reported a failure, then it tried for Class 3 and of
course reported a failure, this time correctly.. My supra dosnt do Class
3 or Class 2.0.. but it does and has done Class 1 and 2..
If one ignores the 2nd part of the log its ok, but newbies could easily
be misled by part 2...

Write your reply.

assistant: *** Quoting Cliff Hetherington to Warren Zatwarniski dated 03-20-97 ***
Yes Cliff, but I'm not talking about "someone" else, I'm talking
specificially about my modem. My modem using the supra defaults gets TERRIBLE
throughput on 33.6 connects. Please note that I'm complaining about the
_throughput_, not an inability to connect at 33.6. WHEN I DO connect at 33.6,
my CPS rates are terrible. When the modem shifts down to 31.2, the CPS rates
are normal.
%E1? %E by _DEFAULT_ is set for 0. My next question is: is "Auto Retrain" the
same as "Rate Renegotiation"? I don't think so. And please read the following
for why I don't think so.
When I connect at ANY speed using V34/+, my modem will switch up and down as
the line quality changes. It does this EVEN THOUGH %E0 IS BEING USED. I have
my Supra display set to show when the rates are changed, and I *NEVER* get a
RT display. RT is the display shown to signal "RETRAIN IN PROGRESS".
If that's not convincing enough, check what %G does, and look at what it's
default is.

allows you to take VOICE/DATA/FAX Messages on the same line.  I

Write your reply.

assistant: you're right buddy. poor performance on 33.6 only. It happens when connected
 to a USR type modem. There is also alot of retrains.
 Yes its the default setting. But setting %E1 is not the best thing to do
 since line quality change constantly on a 28.8 connection.
 Maybe a quailfied person can explain what is really a RETRAIN?
