- Hi,
-
- after trying two different Creatix V.34 SG2834 modems on two different
- computers, we believe that this modem model has a hardware problem which
- shows when operating in answer mode. Symptons:
-
- No problems at all when operating as the caller, but when used in
- answer mode:
-
- o not picking-up or only once -> modem has to be switched off and on
- to pick-up the line for a subsequent call
-
- o flashing DTR light every 10 seconds when waiting for a call
-
- o RAS port status report (modem condition) alternates between
- "hardware failure" and "normal" in sync with the DTR light blinking.
-
- Can anyone confirm that we have indeed a hardware bug with this modem
- type?
- Please also let us also know, if you have a successful answer mode set-up
- with the Creatix SG2834 modem!
-
- Thanks for your help.
- Cheers,
-
