- what is with these people?? they got a perfectly good courier v.32bis so
- they upgrade it with a sportster modem? what kind of shit is this? dont
- you guys know about the courier trade in deal that usr has? all one needs is
- a courier modem of any speed as long as its not a courier 2400 and
- you can buy a new v.34 for $249 or if its a daughtercard model its $199
- for a new card. just call thier bbs at 708 982 5092 and type tradein at
- the main menu to place your order..
-
- restrains requested means how many times the remote modem retrained
- restrains granted means how many times the remote modem asked for a retrain
- i think... if remote modem retrains and the sender modem grants it it
- necessarily doesnt add 1 to restrains granted.
-
- fallback is somewhat different then retrain i think? and fallback disabled
- just means that the modems did not fallback in the last connection
-
- i think your modem is working fine..
-
- you might want to try to get a more updated rom might help things or try
- your modem out with other modems but the best advice i can give is get
- that v.32bis courier modem you got and trade it in and get a courier
- v.34 at a deep discount...
