- We at Hawaii Online are also having many problems with those damn MWaves.
- They either don't connect, or get trash, or disconnect. We've tried all
- sort of variatons on the standard troubleshooting techniques.
- We discovered at&f\n0%c0"h0 helps about 1 in 10 times. And I think you're
- supposed to run the MWModem program first.
- I called IBM tech support and the guy I talked to was slightly rude and
- basically said he wouln't help me. I asked if he could please provide me
- with any troubleshooting tips or important info we should know about the
- MWaves. He said "I can't help you with that sir." Geez thanks. He did
- give me a fax number to fax my questions to. I faxed a sheet off a week
- and a half ago. I explained we need help getting MWaves to connect to
- our US Robotics Total Control Racks. I explained that we have been, and
- will continue, to recommend to our customers to not use MWave modems, until
- we get this resolved. I guess IBM doesn't care whether people buy their
- products or not, as I've recieved no reply.
- Of course, we do have some users who can connect just fine--so it's not
- all Mwaves. But I don't even know how one would start checking an MWave.
- IBM, if you're listening, WAKE UP YOUR MODEMS STINK!!! AND START GIVING
- HELP ON GETTING THEM TO WORK!!!
- Phew. I feel better.
- So anybody else have any suggestions on getting them to connect? I'm going to
- try that -sse1.
