- I just installed one of the Sportster Vi internal modems with the
- new v.34+ feature.
- When the modem is set up in Windows95, as a Sportster Vi 33600,
- there is no sound from the modem's speaker. When the L2 command is
- added to the "extra settings box" of the Windows modem properties
- section, you hear the dial tone, ringing, and handshaking through the
- speaker, but no dialing. If you use the Hyperterminal program and dial
- using the ATD command, you can hear pulse dialing.
- Setting the modem up as a Sportster Vi 28800 does the same thing as
- above.
- If it's set up as a regular Sportster 28800 internal, there is again
- no sound until the L2 is added. If the L2 is used, everything can be
- heard, including the dialing, which is now tone dialing instead of
- pulse.
- I've added and saved the L2 command to the NVRAM, but that hasn't
- changed anything, I still need to use the "extra settings box".
- Before installing this modem, I had a Sportster Vi 28800 internal
- that I was using in this machine. As far as I know, the only
- difference between the two is that one was the v.34 chip and this one
- is v.34+.That one worked fine (you could hear the dialing and logging
- on process) without any added commands or NVRAM modifications. That
- was whether it was set up as either a regular Sportster 28.8k, or Vi
- 28.8k.
