- I have a SupraFax-modem 144LC/14,400 bps Fax.V42bis.MNP 2-5. I have ran
- the MSD hardware diagnostics program, and for the modem COM port, this is
- the result:
-
- Carrier Detect (CD) Yes Clear to Send(CTS) Yes
- Ring Indicator (RI) Yes UART chip used 8250.
- Data Set Ready Yes
-
- The modem cannot connect to the online service, it does not initialise
- possible because the modem is permanently on carrier detect. Does anybody know
- how to disable the carrier detect on the SupraFax modem? How can the modem
- be initialised and made to dial in this situation. Use Terminal in
- windows, it dial without echoing the initialisation and the `OK.'When it
- dail it also do not show any prompt from the romote system to which is
- seemmed connected to. It does not dial at all using RFD Mail 1.23. I am
- running windows 3.11 on enhanced mode (on a Brother 486DX, 250MBHDD, 8MB-RAM)
- and the front-end I am using for the on-line service is RFD mail. Does supra
- have an email or fax support line.
-
- Please do not reply to the newsgroup, reply direct via e-mail, since I
- have an only e-mail connection.
-
- Thank you.
