Tech Bulletin: Support of Modems Over 2400 Baud w/ Remote PC NOVELL TECHNICAL BULLETIN TITLE: Support of Modems Over 2400 Baud w/ Remote PC DOCUMENT ID: TB.P.191 DATE: 8/13/87 PRODUCT: NetWare PRODUCT VERSION: NetWare Remote SUPERSEDES: NA SYMPTOM: NA ISSUE/PROBLEM The "NetWare Remote" product, as explained in the "NetWare Product Reference Guide," will support baud rates up to 19.2 as long as the modem can provide a constant connection at the specified speed. In tests conducted with a majority of the "high speed" modems, we have found that these modems cannot provide a constant baud rate. This is because the modem must constantly adjust and re-configure for line conditions. The NetWare Remote software expects acknowledgements to be returned within a specified time frame, or the shell will time out. In addition, the remote software provides no flow control and will continued to transmit data whether or not the modem is prepared to receive it. Please be aware of this situation when configuring systems or when providing pre-sale information.
