assistant: Hi Michael,
I have called my Hayes Accura 336 (Ozzie version) on my BBS, with a modem
that emits "calling tone" and it just will not connect. I assume, and in fact
I'm pretty certain, that the calling tone is the same as the fax calling
tone. (V29??)
Anyway, the Hayes throws a wobbly - big time. It squawks so loudly it almost
makes one want to hit it with a hammer !!  I'm Serious!
It sits there in that state for about 45 seconds.
If the incoming call (sometimes me) that has the calling tone, disables the
calling tone (ATD^T........) it works just fine.
Any ideas ??
Regards,
Chris Maddock

    Not sure exactly what kind of calling tone you are referring to
here, unless it is some kind of guard tone.  We only have the specs,
etc. on the units made in the US.  This really sounds like a question

assistant: Michael,
Your mention below that Hayes is using flash ROM in all the modems going
out the door is interesting. When did this production start? Does the
flash include a programmable Rockwell data pump to, as Zoom is using, or
is is just for a programmable control? I could find nothing on the Hayes
Web site that says the flash includes data pump. Please clear this up for
us.

I did a product swap on another matter a couple of months ago.
I can confirm that initially I was asked if I wanted to use the
customer counter to do the swap.   (I use Fleet Rail Station sometimes)
In the event postage was faster as it was the beginning of the week and

assistant: Alan,
        When I upgraded my system to a 33.6 from a 28800, I started
having problems with my mailer accepting calls over 28800.  FD would
read it as a 300 baud call.  I looked into InterMail, and noticed that
I could configure any baud rates for the mailer, but I had to add 31200
and 33600 to the mailer's configuration.  You may want to make sure that
the host mailers you are calling are configured for these settings.  It
took care of the problem here, anyways.

Re:Hayes UK HQ counter service.
Requested PM (13:00+) delivery  Milton Keynes and arrived

They used a national carrier so I assume it is the usual 07:30-10:30
business next day delivery I get from other suppliers for an order
before 15:00.  (So look for 6.00ukp discount with counter service)

Not necessarily.  Just because you get an "OK" doesn't mean that command

Volume control, S registers and querying values, enabling error correction
and data compression, querying "alpha" (Q) values and "&alpha" values, etc.
I tried the AT&V and to my surprise it gave a screen dump of the modem
confiuration but I don't know how to 'tweak' the values; to set "Snn=nn."
How to load profile 0 or 1, setting dialing speed, ... just the general
everyday use commands.  I'm notorius for changing configs on a whim depending
on who/where I am calling.  The modem manual that arrived with this unit was
little more than unpack, plug in, turn on.
( -=* and I know that's not your fault *=- )
Also, is there a remote possibility a Smartcom Message Center can be obtained
for Dos?
(I use all breeds of modems, but this is the 1st Hayes since I played with
my 9600 V.42/V.42BIS long ago.)  BTW: This unit is a TradeUp model I am
iving

of the month.

assistant: I received my 56K Accura Speakerphone External and now I am having
 problems connecting to my ISP.
 I am using Workgroups and Explore 3.02 with Dialer,and when I select
 the Accura 288 from the programs database (there is no 336 or 56K)
 I can log on only ONCE. Any other attempt and the modem keeps handshaking
 ad infinitum. If I reboot the computer the same thing happens.
 The only solution is to reinstall the modem. I have tried  setting it up
 as a Standard modem, Cardinal, Zoom, Boca all with the same result.
 I have checked the software to verify that the settings are saved, and
 for COMM port conflicts. I'm using the factory defaults except for W2
 and L2.
 My previous modem, Accura 336EX used the same software flawlessly.
 Any ideas or sugestions would be appreciated.
