I am new to this echo.
I have ask for a connection because I am going to install a Zyxel 2864i (the
ISDN/V34 + A/B poort) external modem/black-box.
Can anybody tel me the steps to take to get it running onder Desqview 2.42, 8
Meg memory, Lantastic 6.0 @ 10Mbps.
I know I have to bus a 16650 uart... what else, which software to install
(CAPI drivers???) which fossil (X00 only up to 115k2, enough to start with)
One ofe the two nodes is hooked directly on the ISDN-modem. The other window
via an Dynalink - equivalent V34/Vfc.
     That's all Folks, Gert de Vente

Replying to a message of Dick Rowden to Bayani P. Custodio:
I think the problem they were talking about was the HAYES V.34 modem... :)
THere is only one other SYSOP that runs a ZyXEL modem in this neck of the
woods and he rarely uses his to call mine, come to think of it, he has never
connected to me.
It's tempting to take you up on that offer. However, I just finished trading
off my last spare hard disk instead of selling for cash. I now have a color
monitor (I no longer have to use highlighter pens to color my Binkley
screen). I was so tempted until I noticed it would cost me just as much for
the modem as the shipping, considering I'm in Canada... :)
See yah later

rw|-             Release Note on Elite 2864 Version 1.05     Aug 14,
rw|-1995
rw|-
rw|- Note: Version 1.03 and 1.04 are not formally released, their relase
rw|-notes are        accumulated here.
rw|-
rw|- 1. Improved connectivity on noisy lines with some V.FC modems.
rw|-
rw|- 2. Fixed bugs:
rw|-
rw|-    * S38.5=1 does not disable MNP5
rw|-
rw|-    * Wrong displayed FAX connect message for command
rw|-ATX7#B1+FCLASS=6 string.
rw|-    * The top portion (0.5/1.0 inch) will be chopped in fax
rw|-    reception when a   fax is received in class 2.0 mode.
rw|-
rw|-    * The connect message of V.22bis (ATX7) was 2400/ARQ/V.22/V42b.
rw|-      It is corrected to 2400/ARQ/V.22b/V42b.
rw|-
rw|-    * AT command response error:
rw|-        the response of AT&N after AT& was ERROR.
rw|-
rw|-    * Wrong display of V34 and V32b LEDs. For example, when the
rw|-    modem   connects in ZyX mode, both the V.34 and V.32 LED come on
rw|-      but when there is a retrain the V32bis LED goes off.
rw|-
rw|- 3. When the DTE speed is set to 9600, the highest connection rate
rw|-will be     limited to 9600 bps.
rw|-
rw|- 4. The default connection mode for multi-auto mode will be V.34
rw|-28800 on     leased line operation.
rw|-
rw|- 5. Improved performance on FRN (fast rate renegociation).
Thanks

It seems your mailer can not detect the OK response from the Elite (it really
accept the mailer AT commands, and give response too fast?).. maybe you can
check response string defined in your mailer or add some delay string in the
initial string.

Write your reply.

assistant: I have been having some problems when receiving data from the modem (Zyxel
Elite 2864i). DTE is locked at 230400bps (or 460800bps), uart is Startech
16C650, but the computer is still missing some of received data.  The problem
arrise when I'm for example downloading files and same time using the
arddisk
for other purposes with the computers attached to my LAN. Zyxel is running in
a
486dx4/100mhz PCI with MS-Dos 6.22 and smartdrive write-behind cache enabled.
If I disable the write-behind cache, or use any other cache-program, I'm not
able to download anything.
The problem seems to be that when DTE is set at over 115200bps, some of
received data will be missing for sure and halves the CPS. So is there any
cure
for this kind of problem?
