-
- Are you using +H0 in your init to achieve this?
-
- BP> Is it possible that transmission errors occur if the host does not

-
- If you've disabled V42bis and MNP then you have no error correction at
- all and the connect you get will be CONNECT 14400/NONE

- BP> I purchased your modem 2 weeks ago at Future Shop in Edmonton. I use

- Sorry, RipTerm is _not_ RPI compatible. Only Terminals either built for
- RPI or built for Windows can be used with an RPI modem

- This does not appear to be a valid Zoom init command
- The inits for RPI are:
-
- AT&F&C1&D2&K3+H0
- RPI switched off
-

- AT&C1&D2&K3+H11
- RPI+ enabled
