- Hi all...
-
- My ISP uses Racal Modems & just recently updated their modem code, As a
- result of this upgrade, it seems now that when I connect w/ my Sportster using
- at&f1 settings, I'll usally get a 26.4 connection, but during the connection,
- the ARQ light will flash quite a bit & if I'm playing descent via The Game
- connection, I'll get locked up. (This was apparent before the upgrade & I
- would be able to fix it by forceing a lower connect rate via at&n11)
- Well now if I init the modem with at&f1&n11, I'll get a connection message
- of CONNECT 21600/V34/NONE, and then proceed to get garbage & eventually hung
- up.
- I've tried a number of things including s56=128, s54=96, s54=128, s27=32
- and I haven't been able to get a real 'lower but stable' connect.
- I've tried a number of times to get Concentrics support staff to help, but
- to no avail, & I've faxed & emailed USR & haven't received any help either. In
- some research it seems USR suggested the s27=32 fix previously (935-307 was
- the USR reference # on it)
- Has anyone else run into this problem? Or can anyone suggest any thing
- else to try? Thanks!
