assistant: Hmmm, people keep talking about me as if I'm not here.  I'm in here
every day!
I answer every question directed to Hayes in here that I see.  I believe
I answered any questions you had regarding the AT&V1 command, there are
many unsupported commands that show up that are undocumented and in many
cases do nothing.  If there are any problems you are having or any
specific commands you are interested in, let us know.  I won't be back
in here til after Christmas, so hopefully no messages will scroll off
before then :).

assistant: Good Day Michael,
I'm not saying you didn't reply, but I never received a reply that made
it to my board.  Here is a snip of AT&V1 using the .519 code while in
command mode while connected to the 1-800 Hayes BBS:
at&v1
TERMINATION REASON.......... LOCAL REQUEST
LAST TX data rate........... 24000 BPS
HIGHEST TX data rate........ 24000 BPS
LAST RX data rate........... 24000 BPS
HIGHEST RX data rate........ 24000 BPS
Error correction PROTOCOL... LAPM
Data COMPRESSION............ V42Bis
Line QUALITY................ 025  --------------------

Highest SPX Receive State... 67        Are these good
Highest SPX Transmit State.. 67        values or not?
EQM Sum Value............... 0000

I know it wasn't a 56K connect and I wasn't on the internet, but
is there a place to go and find the meaning of the terminoligy of
the output of the AT&V1?

assistant: Greetings, about 2 or 3 months ago i put my order in to upgrade my hayes
accura 33.6 but never sent it in yet. ( I heard rummors that Hayes was
swammped and it would take forever to get my modem back, that is why i didn't
send it in yet) Anyway i can't find my Ra number. My question is is it to
ate
to take advantage of the free upgrade offr for the 33.6. I still have my
rececpt when i purchased the modem and i did buy it before the offer expired.
Thank you very much

assistant: Widjoen,
    That's not a US unit and we don't have the specs on the 'global'
(which is what the GO in the model name refers to) units.  Where was the
unit purchased?  Although that unit may be flashable, it is not
flashable to any higher speed.  (There is no flash upgrade from 33.6 to
56K.)  The init string really depends on the application.  For most
applications a simple AT&F&C1&D2 will work fine.   BBS init strings are
usually more specific.  Many BBS's require the modem to be in autoanswer
mode (in which case you would add ATS0=n to the init string, where n
refers to the number of rings for the modem to wait before answering,
ATS0=1 tells the modem to pick up after one ring, etc.).  Other BBS's
require that the modem not be in autoanswer mode, however.

assistant: Well.... I recieved my External Optima 56K Business modem yesterday, and
decided to try it out on the BBS machine first.
Figgured i'd try a -really- short INIT string ATZ| in (InterMail 2.50 GAMMA),
and IT WORKED :)
Then I tried it out with my ISP (Bellsouth.Net) a K56flex ISP here in
Orlando... It worked again :) (at 56k speeds).
This is the SECOND modem that's been "plug it in, and forget it". The first
one was an Optima 28.8 VFC external (that I still have).
There is one thing with the K56flex modem though. Whenever the modem inits,
there's a "clunking" noise (like a relay closing). I have the speaker turned
off, but the relay clunking sound is still there... Anything I can do to get
rid of that clunking noise ??

Write your reply.

assistant: The 'clunking' noise on reset is perfectly normal, and as far as I know
there's no way to avoid it when turning the modem on or sending it an
ATZ. It resets everything, including the speaker.  However, you don't
have to reset the modem all the time. ATZ resets the modem and brings up
whatever settings you have stored in the default power on profile. Try
AT&F&C1&D2 instead.

assistant: The default is for the modem to not autoanswer incoming calls, so unless
you have configured the modem to autoanswer and stored this setting in
the modem default power on settings, or unless some program is detecting
the ring signal and then manually putting the modem in autoanswer, the
modem shouldn't be autoanswering.  If it is, issuing an ATS0=0 will take
the modem out of autoanswer mode.  ATS0=0&W&W1 will remove the setting
from the stored profiles as well.

assistant: Lloyd,
There is no such thing as a one size fits all init string.  If there was
one single good init string that worked great for everything, we would
certainly make it the default.  It would certainly save us alot of
support headaches.
However, that's not how it works, the init strings are dependent upon
the software.  The whole purpose of an init string is to make the modem
behave the way the software expects.  For instance, some software
packages expect the modem to return numeric result codes.  Other
packages expect to see verbal result codes.  Now obviously if I give you
an init string that works great for the first package, it isn't going to
work well at all for the second.
If you'll let me know which software package you intend to use, I'll try
to give you an init string for that particular package.  Meanwhile, try
"AT&F&C1&D2" that works for the vast majority of comm. packages out there.
Also, you can get a copy of all of the AT commands in Windows help file
format from our ftp site at "ftp.hayes.com".  Look for ACOPHELP.EXE, it
should be in the "TECH" directory.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

I really don't know what type equipment Bellsouth has, only that it's

comparisons, ( I really got tired of all the "My modem is better than your
modem" type posts), and I figgured i'd find out for myself which of the "Big
Boys" had the best modem.
We are lucky here in Orlando, to have x2 and K56flex ISP's at reasonable
rates, so hooking up to each was no problem. The results of my personal tests
?
You wanna buy a x2 Courier ??? My Optima is -NOT- forsale :)

Tom,
    The string your caller id program is now using disables autoanswer.
Changing the "S0=0" to S0=1 instructs the modem to answer after one
ring, S0=2 tells it to answer after 2 rings, etc.  (If it picks up at
one ring it may not be giving it enough time to pass the caller id
info.)

I'll give you one that I use.
Init |ATZ|~~ATE0H0M0Q0V1X4S2=255S37=0&Q5s95=42&D2&C1|
However this will not do you any good if you are not using BinkleyTerm. I'd
suggest using the init string that is default for the software that you are
using. Which software package is it?
