- I could really use some help on the following problem.
-
- I'm running Windows 95 on a Gateway P-120 with a Sportster 33.6
- installed internally. Everything worked fine until a day or two ago.
- Then, for no apparent reason, the modem started refusing to connect to
- 28.8 modems. If I do an atz and then attempt a connection, the
- following happens:
-
- 1) Negotiation is heard
- 2) Soft hiss of data transfer
- 3) Negotiation is heard
- 4) My modem hangs up (and does not report NO CARRIER)
-
- When things worked, I would get a connect right after 1 and 2 above.
-
- I've tried connecting to multiple 28.8 modems, but they all fail. If I
- connect to a 14.4 modem, it works fine (in fact, that is how I'm logged
- in now). It appears that something in the 28.8 negotiation process
- isn't working anymore. Oddly, if I force my modem to connect at 2400
- (by doing an AT&N3), I get a 1200 connection, and I don't hear the 28.8
- negotiation tones.
-
- I'm tearing my hair out over this. Does anybody have any ideas?
