- TD> Hi All,

- Thats because (probably) you didn't tell it to ignore the status, so
- when the path from the dialer is closed, it thinks its supposed to
- hangup and does. The correct command is "At&D0"
-
- BTW, don't be surprised if that multitech has connection problems
- unless they fixed them. I tried to use an ISP that had their 28.8
- cards in rack mounts, they were so bad one of them couldn't call its
- neighbor over the dialup! And of course I was always told it was my
- modem anytime I was having a problem. Well, after $700 worth of
- modems all failed to connect properly, I got smart and changed the
- ISP. This one uses Supra Flashers similar to my Cardinal 28.8.
- Works great now.

- TD> 31250 baud, RTS/CTS, 8N1.
-
- Whoops! 31250 is a midi speed, and unless theres an awfully smart
- modem out there on the end of the cable, it will be lost trying to
- figure out what your computer is telling it. Using seriel.device on
- the stock hardware you will find isn't very reliable above 19,200.
- YMMV of course, a 40 mhz 1200 could probably do 57,600 if you don't
- multitask too heavily. Baud rates that are legal baud rates are the
- powers of 2, starting at 1200 baud. eg, 1200, 2400, 4800. 9600,
- 19,200, 38,400 are the basic ranges, but then somehow 57,600 and
- 115,200 became part of the list, and they aren't powers of 2 from the
- rest. The next obvious one would have been 76,800 but it never
- seemed to catch on.
-
- TD> The modem works fine with GPFAX and TERM 4.5.
- At what baud rates?
-
- TD> Trevor Daley
-
- TD> <tsb> AMIGA A1200/030/40Mhz - 2meg Chip / 16meg Fast Ram -
- TD> 1.08Gig HD
-
- TD> Idiots do have a redeemable feature - mortality.
- I've noticed, but why must we suffer for so long?
