- : See whether the .inf file is sending any %C commands to the modem.
- : On the 14.4 and 2400 supras, %C0 was compression off, %C1 was compression on

- Thanks for the info, that was the problem. I got a very helpful email
- from Supra tech support and rebuilt the Supra entry for my modem.inf file.
- I didn't even check the %C1 code but looking at my docs that appears to be
- the problem. I hate non-standard commands. Checking the 6 modem manuals
- I have with me (Multi-Tech, Zypcom, AT&T, Moto Power, Moto Lifestyle, and
- Supra) only the Supra uses %C3. And the Reference Card still says %C1.
- Damn, it's not Microsoft's fault. Oh well, it works now and I was getting
- 5-6k/sec downloads on .exe files this weekend. Just want to say again
- that Supra has performed as expected and helped me
