- I have a SupraExpress 288PnP Faxmodem on my A1200. My A1200 has a
- MBX1230XA with an 030/882 at 50 MHz and 4 MB Fast RAM. I have a 60 MB 2.5"
- Seagate and a 1.2 GB 3.5" Maxtor Hard Drives.
-
- Now, my problem is that I have slow D/Ls with a large number of errors,
- when using Term 4.6. I had the same problem w/ Term 4.3, 4.5 and all of
- them also with a PPI 14.4 FaxModem. Term is set up with Simple I/O, the
- baud rate is set at 38,800, and I have changed the init string so many
- times that I don't remember what it is set at now. :(
-
- Anyways, I get very few errors while reading mail, news etc., but as soon
- as I start a D/L my CPS starts out high and within 30 seconds or so, it
- drops to 500-600 CPS, with a large amount of errors. This happens on
- local BBSs as well as my Internet Provider. My friends on campus have
- very few errors compared to my computer (and that doesn't look good for
- the Amiga v. PC fight) and my roommate has been using my old 14.4 modem
- without a problem.
-
- This happens everytime I try to D/L either at day or night. There has
- been only 2 or 3 times that I have had a D/L go with only 5 or 6 errors,
- while keeping the speed up. I have not been able to duplicate those
- events, especially since the settings weren't changed.
-
- The only thing I can't correct for is line noise, but the campus is
- supposedly on a digital Centrex system, and my friends have had little
- problems with 28.8 connections so I doubt thats a problem.
-
- Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
