I use a SupraFaxModem (28.8) that's been flashed up to 33.6... I use a USR
Sportster 33.6 at work and have absolutely no problems connecting to my BBS
when I call. The only problem I have is with the "pause" bug in the USR. If
you want, post your modem configuration information and maybe we can spot
something.

If you have a CID phone, or an external display box, try hooking it up to
your line and calling to see if it will display the info. If it makes any
difference, I used the Windows '95 flasher program. Did you do the AT&F2&W&W1
once it was done the flash?

What kind of download rates do you get on a 33.6 connect? If I connect at
33.6 on the internet, the speed is unbelievably slow. Maybe around 2500cps.
If I force the connect rate to never go higher than 31.2, the speed is
rmal.
There's only a couple of BBS's local to me, and none of them have 33.6
modems, so I can't check a straight BBS download.
When I call from work and connect at 33.6 I get about 3800cps... so there's
no problem sending data out at 33.6 rates, but for some reason receiving
seems to be really bad. Must be getting lots of errors or something.

That may be true, but doesn't your mailer re-initialize (thus turn the
speaker off again) when it returns? Does your modem answer while your tosser
or a batch file is running?
I think the best answer was already given. That was to add the M0 to the
answer and dial string.

I just started a new ISP inet setup in Win3.11. Now is somewhat new to me

slices, but after getting PPP/SLP and Netscape3.0 to logging in, it bombs out
after under a min. online. BTW, this is the only time, I've seen on a regualr
basis a 288k connect. I've made a bootable floppy to run only what's needed
to get the inet stuff to run, since the bbs s/w will hang the modem to the
ISP otherwise. What would be a good init string here? or can I tweek for a
better inet link(wondering)...If I going to pay $19.95/mo I want a good link
otherwise I'm throwing it out. Any help is appreciated...later -_-_-Bill

assistant: Hi Warren,
 Well, my external display box did a better job than the Supra where
 the Supra will miss the call (average 50%). I'm pretty sure that the rom
 code -25 is not the best ever made.
 By using AT&F and AT&F1 i didn't miss a call!!! But at the price of
 no hardware compression and stuff like that.
 Unfortunately, i run a PC and not a MAC. :(

Well, this doesn't give us much to work with. What do you mean by bomb out?
Do you properly connect to the ISP? Is it maybe a password error?
If you do an ATS86 it will report the disconnect reason. That may shed some
light. What are you dialing with? Is this a netscape "personal" edition? The
one with the built-in dialer?
One recommendation that I could make, if you have your heart set on not using
Windows '95, that's to upgrade to WFWG. It handles communications *MUCH*
better than Windows 3.11....
What BBS program are you using? I never had a problem while running the BBS
and later firing up Windows to log onto the internet.
Well, if you're getting 28.8 connects, then it's a good start.

After going to a website and start getting data, it tends to just drop
carrier after a 1 min. or so. While, I realize I *maybe* doing something
wrong, what that is hard to tell since I don't have very much time to do it
in. I use an ISP provide dialer(earthlink's) then switch to Netscape 3.0 to
finalize the connection and start. The NS logo is just that version 3.0, it's
not the premium or gold release, etc. but it seems to be the latest, maybe
plain jane though.
^^^\..In response to../^^^
I'll do that...
^^^\..In response to../^^^
Well, I do and 1st time ever, any other comm. pgm. can proceed with no
problems. I see no reason why it should hang here, but making a bootable
floppy and configuring many things that aren't needed but windows related
allows a clean connection. This was my 1st problem, the dialer wouldn't
recognize the modem as being there and fail, thus the bootable floppy
solution. I'm still playing with it. later -_-_-Bill
