- Do you mean that you're getting LOTS of checksum errors? I had this problem
- with my old Supra 2400 modem (got a Sportster now). The solution I found was
- to turn off the modem's compression protocol (v42bis/MNP5). You do this by
- sending 'AT&K0' to your modem. You could try 'AT&K3' instead, see page A-7 in
- the manual for more info on this.
-
- If you send 'ATI4' you should get a complete listing of the current modem
- settings. Check that they are what you think they should be, and compare that
- they are the same as your friends.
-
- Borrow your friends modem and try it at your home. If it works it's surely
- your modems fault.
-
- It may be that your providers modems have problems with Sportsters. If that's
- the case then they should know, so have you asked them?
-
- Thats all I can think of right now. --- Joakim
