You're joking, right?
To run an RPI modem with EC and DC, you need to implement -- i.e. write
code for -- all of V.42 (LAPM) and V.42bis (LZW compression).
It's not merely a matter of setting an S-register. There *is* NO error
correction or data compression in the modem to enable.
Return it, get your money back, and if you think the marketing or packaging
was deceptive, let somebody know about it.
Read the last month's worth of comp.dcom.modems postings -- everything with
RPI in the subject -- for lots more info on the subject.
Or -- only if you are using MS-DOS Kermit under Windows 3.1 -- you can
TRY to get the (maybe) newly-released WINRPI COMM.DRV replacement from your
modem vendor (not from Rockwell). Maybe it will work with Kermit, maybe
it won't. We have not yet had any reports about this.
Good luck.
