- Attempting to install a Xircom Credit Card Eithernet + Modem 28.8 on a
- Texas Instrument TravelMate 5100 laptop computer using WIN95 I found
- that the modem would not work reliably using v.34. The call would
- connect, usually at 26400, but the line would drop shortly thereafter
- with any flow of data. The modem's ATI6 display of the last connection
- said PHYSICAL CARRIER LOSS.
-
- The modem seems to operate OK if the connection is restricted to
- v32.bis, but the speed is reduced to 14400.
-
- The speed restriction was accomplished by setting register S110=5.
- The modem manual documentation was not correct. The manual said that
- S110=5 was the default and meant a v34 connection. The default was
- S110=7 and was not documented in the manual.
-
- The modem firmware (ATI3) says the software revision is 3.61[21]
-
- Does anyone have any comments or know how to make the modem work
- reliably at 26400 or 28800?
