assistant: Which program exactly is giving you the 'Divide by zero' error message
on installation, and at what point is the error showing up?  Also, what
is the model number of the modem?  Our PnP modems are shipped with a
drivers and utilities disk that should include a SETCOM utility that
functions similarly to the PNPSET utility you referenced.  This utility
can be downloaded from our FTP site at:
ftp://ftp.hayes.com/modem/accura/

assistant: Rick,
   The units you get should be able to accept the flash code.  It is
possible that there could still be some of the other ones still out
there, but if by some chance you get any that can't accept the flash
code, that's not a problem, our customer service can swap those out for
you.

assistant: Hello Tom,
I ordered two ext. Accuras on 06/24/97 thru the tradeup program,
tradeing in one Hayes and one USR.  I have received a voice call
from Hayes Fulfillment dept. on those two units.  I won't begin to
speculate when they start shipping. :(
About 3 weeks later my credit union issued me new Visa cards with
new #s.  Common sence told me to re-apply for the two units mentioned
above (hadn't received a word about them except the Hayes email msg
telling me my order had been processed & not to send in any modems until
I got an RMA from Hayes, etc.)  So I re-ordered the two tradeup units
and added a third with the new Credit card.  Received an email from
Hayes, same message, but have not heard anything about modem # 3 or the
second order with new CC #s.  I have a couple 800 & 888 numbers I'm
supposed to call in a few days if I've heard nothing about modem #3.
Are you home during the daytime and/or did you give a telephone # where
you can be reached during the daytime...Monday thru Friday?  If not, I'd
leave a msg here to Hayes Support.

assistant: Hello Tom,
Call 1-888-887-7904 and ask about the status of your order.  If you get
hold of a numbskull (as I did my first call), wait 5-10 minutes and call
back.  These people should know what's going on.  If they act as if they
know nothing, tell 'em look harder for your name and have the date you
posted above ready for them to refer to.  I have purchase orders
confirmed for two of three TradeUp units, now just waiting on the modems
and acknowledgement of the 3rd unit.
BTW...if someone trys to tell you to call 770-441-1617, tell 'em that
ain't the number it says to call on the website.
Good luck,
Later...

assistant: Arthur,
    That's correct, limiting the maximum initial carrier speed is
typically the best way to deal with retrains, other than improving the
phone line conditions themselves.  For instance, if you are connecting
at 26,400 or 28,800 bit/s but are getting excessive retrains, using the
"AT" command S37=29 will limit the initial carrier speed to 24,000 bit/s
and should lower the number of retrains you are seeing.  If the OPTIMA
is the host modem, you would likely want to limit the initial carrier
speed on the modem that is calling in, however.
    If you are in Australia and are using an Australian unit, you may
want to drop a note to our Australian support address at:
dan@hayes.com.au

Where did you find that S37=29? The Online reference manual only goes to
S37=17 or 28800. I noticed that it is also missing %q & %l. When I
typed  %q1 I got 005 026 038 000 007. What does this mean? I downloaded
the latest Accura 56k reference file and it has dates of 5/7/97 on the

Currently what we have are the online electronic reference manuals that
ship with the modems. We'll make a note of the request, but we have
found the online docs to be just as effective for the majority of users,
and of course a good bit more friendly to the environment :)

Ken,
    We were referring to the OPTIMA 33.6.  The S37 registers are not
always the same for different models.  As for the other commands you
mentioned, those are not supported.  I believe %L refers to line signal
level and %Q reports line signal quality.  You might see one of
Rockwell's generic command manual's for more info on some of those
unsupported commands that may or may not work:

assistant: Thanks for the reply. Looks like my sysop has finaly figured out how to
send Fido messages. This option is usually broke so I did not know if I
would get a reply, glad I did. My experience with a Zoom v.32bis and a
SupraSonic v.34+ gave me familairity with %l and %q. Supra has programed
their flash code to report a lot of on-line statisics with the commands
%q1 and %q2. Any chance Hayes with have something similar soon?
Thanks for the URL I will check it out and see if it has anything new.
Apparently S37 does the same thing on the Accura, it is just that the
chart is not up to date. Is there an on-line manual for the
Optima/Accura in text or .hlp format available on the FTP site? I
could not find this for the Accura on the BBS even though the manual
says it IS available there. Would you maybe know the filenames?

All of our latest online 'electronic' manuals are not in .hlp or .txt
form, the latest .TXT version of a general tech ref. manual is:
ftp://ftp.hayes.com/tech/trm288.txt
As for all the online statistics you mentioned, Hayes is constantly
making changes, improvements, etc. in the various firmware revs., but
right now that's not a documented feature in our current products.
