- Recently while in Paris, I had mixed results trying to use a USR Sporster v.34
- modem to pulse dial, about 50% of the time I would end up with a wrong number.
- I tried using the &P1 setting to change the pulse dial make/break ratio to
- 33%/67% instead of the default 39%/61% but that didn't seem to make a diffe-
- rence... mistakenly, I also played with the S11 register setting (length of
- dial tones) but that of course didn't matter.
-
- I am not clear where the problem is, the hotel switchboard I was going thru,
- the modem or the telephone number I was trying to connect to. The only useful
- obsercation I have is that previously I had observed no problems when pulse
- dialing with a Practical Peripheral's v.32bis modem -- which by the way has
- no settings to change the make/break ratio. Also, I don't know if the French
- phone system supports tone dialing or if in my case it was because of the
- hotel switchboard.
-
- Anyone has some suggestions as to how best diagnose and handle this problem?
- On the times I was able to connect, I had no trouble establishing 28.8
- connections.
