        Yup, I did the same thing...see the V34_LL.TXT file.
        What kind of modem is at the ISP...I wonder if on the 4th call

Slightly defective negociation when a Rockwell's equiped modem calls an

Dunno who's fault it is, and don't want to; this is however unimportant
while Supra released the 1.400-18 which indeed allows the use of the
3429 signaling rate, whenever line conditions permit it of course.
You would thus update your modem to -18, which incidentally seems to be
the more stable and efficient V34+ firmware Supra released so far.
Shortly, it's the frequency's bandwith used.
Doesn't matter anymore.
Thank Supra and congratulate them for solving the problem so fast, as
my points connecting their Supras to my Courier do. :-)

assistant: hello everyone!
Somthing wierd happened to my modem a few days ago.  I went on vacation to
new york hoping that my BBS didn't crash, but when i got back, i found that
instead of my computer crashing, my modem had "crashed".  The mailer had
exited 3 days before saying that it was unable to initialise the modem, and
when I went into a terminal program i didn't get any response from the modem
(not even the echo).  I rebooted my macine via ctrl-alt-del but the mailer
still couldn't init the modem, so then i hit the reset button and that seemed
to fix it.  Does anyone have an explenation for this? I am using the -18 rom
code.

There is nothing wrong with supra's implementation of v.34.  The supra folows
the specs to the letter, where as the USR isn't quite standard thus we have
this problem.  The problem should dissapear as soon as USR releases a new

+ms=v34,0,28800,31200
in my init string. It responds back with an "OK", but I still get 33.6
connects.
The reason I want to restrict it to 31.2 is because I'm convinced that I'm
getting poorer performance on a 33.6 connect than I get on a 31.2 connect. It
certainly is much more responsive at 31.2 that 33.6, that I'm positive of.
I'm using the latest -18 beta flash.

I can get 33.6k with one USR system.  So now I know -18 works.
But there is a strange problem when I call one other particular USR. Often,
when the modems try to negotiate, my modem will go into a "gattling-gun"
sound mode and then the call fails after about a minute of that.   I find
that if I use AT S210=12 for that particular system, the problem goes away.
Oh... and it happens when I call a SupraVoice 28.8 as well.   S210=12 fixes
the "gattling-gun" with it too.   That SupraVoice is only running the
released code and not any v34+ upgrades.

Sorry about that, David.  If Patrick has already helped, please
disregard this message.
Can you confirm that the modem will answer (with silent answer turned

What is your current initialization string?
How many rings before FaxTalk is set to answer?
How many rings before your answering machine answers?
Is there a short silent space on your outgoing message?
