- After connecting at 9600 all the time with my 9600 modem,i thought
- when i got my new 28800 i would have no problems!! it all started when
- my wife baught me a 28800 reveal pm700 for my bithday (what a girl )..
- i installed the modem with the software that came with it
- (faxworks),changed the baud rate in my trumpet winsock to 115200 and
- left the init string as it was (at&c1&k3) connected to my isp and got
- a connection of 2400!!! i'm the type of guy that has to know (WHY)!!!
- so i started to search the web found some great things (curt's high
- speed modems page) and this news group as well, posted a few please
- for help,got some answers, but still a 2400 connect..everyone kept
- saying use your default setting or build a string from your manual..i
- tried what was supposed to be the best setting from my manual wich was
- (at&f0b1q0v1w0x4&k3&l0%c3) well it gave me error after error, so i
- took one comand out at a time, still a 2400 connect..by now i've
- learned a little about some commands and got the volume to work with
- an L1(low) L2(medium) L3(high) L0(off), so i set my default string at
- (AT&F1L1) and just connected at 2400 to get my ppp account and did my
- web surfing at the default setting, my downloads are real and the
- pages load like lightning compared to my old 9600!!! but still i have
- to know WHY the F#$*%@ thing is still connecting at 2400??????so i
- tried finding a page for a reveal modem,found the reveal page but no
- modem info..found all kinds of info on usr supra zoom ect ect
- ect....weeks have gone by and i'm still playing around ,and when i'm
- doing big downloads, i look in my modem manual trying to figure out
- what in the hell all the greek writeing is about and what it
- mean's..then after installing kali pppshare to connect to a searver to
- play descent through dos, i found out i connect at 115200 all the
- time..now the idea of throwing the modem,monitor and pc out the window
- is gone,,and i know all i need is the magic init string..well heres
- what worked for me after ten logons at 28800 (AT$F1)=my
- default,(&M0)=select direct asynchronous mode), (&K3)=enable rts/cts
- dte/dce flow control,(L1)=set low speaker volume..so if anyone has a
- reveal pm700 the string that works for me is AT&F1&M0&K3L1,,if there
- are any modem gurus who read this and can see a problem or know a
- better solution, please mail me and let me know !!!!....zippo
