- I have been having nothing but problems with a Zoltrix 14.4
- Voice/fax/data modem which is based on the Rockwell RPI (not +)
- chip. It came with Cheyenne DOS program , BITCOM, which claims to
- support MNP5 , since the modem doesn't. However even after
- establishing a 9600 baud connection, announcing, a MNP5 I receive
- garbage, and after a few minutes the connection is broken. Attempting
- to use the windows version, after the connection is established and
- the protocol message of "NONE" is announced the screen is cleared and
- "speed_connect " is displayed on the top of the screen, followed by
- some data but mostly garbage. I have heard from Zoltrix and Rockwell
- who keep refering me to FAQ's and one another. Cheyenne has a bunch of
- year old FAX back notes but no help. I have tried several different
- modems, both brands and phone numbers at the remote end but I am
- unable to establish a sucessfull connection for more than a few
- minutes. PS using an older Practical Peripherals 9600SA I get an error
- free connection for hours at a time to the same numbers. All these
- numbers are in the same telco exchange which I have reported problems
- to. I keep hearing from telco that this is probally a trunk problem
- but they cannot seem to fix it. I have loaded WRPI comm driver and
- tried terminal, WINRPI driver spending hours and hours and...#%@

- Any help, or words of sympathy would be GREATLY appreaciated

- Does software error correction ever work, or are TCP/IP and other
- protocals hiding these problems from most people?
