- Well, I'm afraid I can't help you on this specific model, but I was
- really suprised that nobody has mentioned Viva modems since I started
- following this group about 4 weeks ago.
-
- A friend of mine has a Viva 28.8k internal fax modem, and has had very
- little luck with it, only getting slow connects and multiple
- characters on screen etc. I put it in my computer and did slightly
- better, after fiddling about for ages with it, in a rather
- non-scientific manner (i.e., I can't really say how I semi-sorted
- it!!!) I could get it up to 26400 on a TCP/IP link, but it was
- reluctant to hang up when closing the connection in Trumpet.
-
- However, back on my friends computer, same troubles showed up; he now
- has another make 28.8k which runs without problems, so it can't be the
- computer.
-
- Anyway, I'm not sure what model it is but here's some of the output I
- got:
- ati3
- V1.000-V34_DP
-
- ati4
- a007880284C6002F
- bC60000000
- r1005111151012004
- r3000111170000000
-
- ati6
- RC288DPi Rev 04BC
-
- Can anyone identify this Viva (Rockwell clone?) modem, and say whether
- it is known to give problems? Any solutions?
-
- Sorry I haven't answered your question, only asked my own. Maybe the
- Viva pocket modem is fine.
