- I have a USR 28.8 Sportster which would rarely let me log on through
- my ISP at 28.8, or even 26.4 when trying to connect through the
- provider's 28.8 modems. I would get gibberish on the screen, a lot of
- noise, and eventually "NO CARRIER" unless I disconnected myself.
- I could always connect at 14.4 when I hit one of the provider's 14.4
- modems. At USR's suggestion I changed my init string to include the
- statement S54=96. If that didn't work they suggested trying
- S54=96S27=32. (I do have the upgraded chip.)
-
- S54=96 worked and I no longer get gibberish and noise and my
- connection is being reported at 28.8 or 26.4 almost every time. Can
- anyone tell me what S54=96 means? Can't find =96 as a value when I
- ask the modem and I would like to know what this register is. USR
- seems to have closed down their Internet on line support.
-
- Thanks for any help
