- I am posting this here as I have not been called back by USR
- or their Canadian agents.
-
- I thought the Creative Labs tech support was bad, but USR
- is beginning to get on my bad side.
-
- Recently we received 5 of the new 33.6 externals, and
- placed them in use. These modems are constantly freezing on us
- and losing their connections to the COM port. The DTR light
- goes out on these modems, and it is not possible
- to use a terminal to connect to them until they are reset.
- These modems are in use on a Unix system connected to
- RisComm/Digiboard serial boards.
-
- The strange thing is is that we have lots of the older 28.8
- Sportsters, and we never have any problems. None of the
- new 33.6 modems work reliably. An ati4 of the modems looks like:
-
- C-Kermit>connect
- Connecting to /dev/ttya6, speed 38400.
- The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
- Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
- or followed by ? to see other options.
