- I've been having problems making my new Sportster 33.6k keep a stable
- connection..
-
- The symptom is that the connection will start to "hang" for 10-15 seconds
- at a time whenever connected at high speed.
-
- I assumed that the modem was not responding to changing line conditions
- properly, so I changed S27 to 16 (this enables V.23 fallback mode).
- Unfortunately, ati6 tells me that fallback is still disabled. (!?!?)
-
- Today, during one of the "hang" periods, I broke into the modem's command
- mode (with + + +) and typed ati7. From this I saw "RETRAINS REQUESTED : 21"
- "RETRAINS GRANTED 0"
-
- Obviously something is very much amiss.
-
- My ROM version is 1.1 (which I assume must be pretty recent since I just
- brought this thing home to replace my Courier V.32bis a few days ago).
-
- Can anyone offer any suggestions/solutions? They would be much appreciated
- since I think I've pretty much tried everything I could think of, including
- disabling different symbol rates (I realize this has no effect on retraining,
- but since the modem seems to ignore S27, I couldnt think of anything else
- to try).
-
- THANKS!
-
- Scott
