- Hi, I'm having a hell of time trying to connect to a particular internet
- provider, and was hoping someone out there might be able to help.
- Whenever I dial this particular provider, the modems go through their
- handshaking and then as soon as the connection is established the carrier
- is dropped. I get a couple of lines of garbage characters on the screen
- (Sometimes the first few chars or line is OK, but the rest is trash).
- This happens every time I try to log on and the carrier is always dropped
- within half a second or less from when the connection is established.
-
- Well here is some more info:
- Tried 3 different modem software packages (1 for Dos, 1 for Windows, and
- 1 for OS/2). The same always happened.
- There are 3 phone lines going to the provider, one of which is on a
- completely different set of modems (also a differnet brand). Again it
- made no differnce which I tried.
- I have never had this problem before and connected to lots of places.
- Internet provider assures me that I'm the only one to experience any
- difficulties with their modems.
- Flow control, data size, parity etc have all been checked and theres
- nothing wrong there.
- Using a ZyXEL U-1496E+ external modem with a 16550 UART on a 486-66 machine.
-
- Any help or suggestions would be _really_ appreciated!
-
- Thanks in advance,
-
- Eric
