Phone lines are incapable because of bandwidth of carrying a data
baud(information element) rate faster than 2400 baud. If you look at the ultra
modem box, you will see that speeds are expressed in bits per second annot
bauds. On the other hand USR mentions Bauds at 9600. By using Trellis and other
types of modulation tricks, the 1 signal element carries more than 1 bit of
data. The fact that hayes says the carrier rate is 9600 is a bit misleading but
not wrong as the resulting carrier recovery from the multilevel 2400 baud line
rate is in fact a sudo 9600. If you don't beleive me-send a ?? to Toby Nixon
who is on the CCITT standards group that set up V32 and is now wreasling with
the HST standard. Bill Taylor

Voice-grade telephone circuits have a usable bandwidth of about 3100 Hz (from
roughly 300Hz to 3400Hz). This means that, theoretically, one can change the
state of the signal on the line 3100 times per second, and have it be passed
recognizably through the various analog-to-digital converters, amplifiers, and
other pieces of equipment in the phone system that are designed to carry voice
signals. In reality, due to the need for shaping of waveforms and dealing with
impairments (like delay and attenuation distortion at the outer reaches of the
band), only about 2800Hz of the band is "really" usable; the 2400Hz bandwidth
of V.32 modems fits nicely (it sits between 600Hz and 3000Hz).
The standards community doesn't use the term "baud" any more, since it is so
widely misused. The preferred term is "symbols per second", indicating the
number of discrete signal elements that can be transferred on the phone line
per second. By varying the amplitude and phase of the signal, one signal
element can indicate several bits. For example, V.22bis operates at 600
symbols per second, and supports 16 different combinations of phase and
amplitude; this means that 4 bits can be indicated per symbol, for a total of
2400 bits per second. V.32 operates at 2400 symbols per second, and supports
32 different combinations of phase and amplitude. It doesn't signal five bits
per symbol, however, because one of the bits is a redundant encoding of the
others to provide the receiver with more information to properly decipher the
received signal. Since only four of the bits contain user data, this means
V.32 can send a maximum of 9600bps. V.32bis also sends 2400 symbols per
second, and to acheive 14,400bps supports 128 different combinations of phase
and amplitude for each symbol. You can see that although the speed is only 50%
higher than V.32, the receiver is actually 4 times more complex!
The Courier HST uses 14,400bps modulation in one direction (2400 symbols per
second, 128 possible states per symbol, similar to V.32bis), but only has a
450bps carrier in the reverse direction (150 symbols per second, 8 possible
states giving 3 bits per symbol).

Greetings friends. Since the Ultra came in, I have been having a strange
problem with the modem not hanging up all the time. Some of my users end up
having to ALT-H to hang up. It seems to be the same users all the time. The
problem is that when they ALT-H, the BBS somehow no longer communicates with
the modem....It goes off into never-never land, and I have to reset the
machine....Any suggestions ?

I've heard of MTE and used it some. It is a comm program that includes support
for MNP levels 2, 4, and 5 in software. It works through basically any async
modem. Because it can't strip the start and stop bits from the data characters
(that is what MNP3 does), it can't really acheive the full throughput of an
MNP2-5 modem. In fact (excluding consideration of MNP5 compression for the
time being), the maximum performance of an MNP2+4 connection is only about 86%
of the rated line speed (e.g., 2075bps on a 2400bps modem), while an MNP3+4
connection can acheive 122% of the rated line speed (about 2920bps on a 2400bps
modem).
Anyway, that tells you what MTE _is_. As for why it doesn't work on your
board, that's not entirely clear. Can you give us some more specifics about
what you're seeing? I mean, does it fall back to non-error-control mode? Can
normal MNP modems connect with your board OK?

If you are not able to connect at 9600, they are running an HST, which is *NOT*
v.32. It is a proprietary protocol every bit as much as the older v-series
was. The DS is a v.32 modem and you can connect with those at 9600, as long as
they have not done something stupid and set them to answer as HSTs only!

Charles - sorry to bust in on your thread but I think that when you give up
s46=2 to s46=0, you are giving up the v.42bis feature of the ULTRA - I leave
the s46=2 on my BBS (pcboard) and if another v.42bis logs on with s46=2 then
the modems will decide how to handle the compression for any file (Zip or
other). If not, compression is just off. Alan Russell - SYSOP of "THE FILE"

Ultra 96 (and all Hayes V-series modems) include Hayes-proprietary options in
the negotiation frames sent at the beginning of the V.42 protocol connection.
These are used to negotiation things like the Hayes Adaptive Data Compression.
Inclusion of proprietary options IS explicitly permitted by the related
standards (e.g., ISO 8885), and other companies (e.g., Microcom) do it also.
Unfortunately, some companies (like Telebit) don't deal very well with these
non-standard options, and reject the frame, and usually disconnect, too.
That's probably your problem. It is my understanding that Telebit is going to
put out a new version of the T2500 V.42bis ROMs that tolerate "private
parameters" (which is what these are "officially" called).
In the meantime, you can disable the transmission of these private parameters
by setting S48=3 instead of the default (S48=7). You'll still connect just
fine with MNP and V.42 modems, but in some cases won't get full capabilities
when connecting with older (pre-V.42) Hayes V-series modems. Not a big deal,
really. You might also consider setting S46 to 138 (instead of 2), which
completely disables connections with pre-V.42 Hayes V-series modems, but also
reduces the possibilities for failed handshakes with V.42 modems.

I tried those two settings (first just the s48=3, and then both) and they did
not help my T2500 disconnects. Maybe I read Charles' message wrong or was too
quick to tie it to mine, but my problem is not the initial connect, but rather
a disconnect within the first few minutes. In this most recent case, it
happens after receiving about two screens of data. I really think my problem
could be something like messed up hardware flow control lines on the other
side, because I feel it happens faster when I let the compression happen. I'm
going to have to keep playing with it, and I know you can't be expected to help
since I have no control over the T2500s. It would be interesting to see if
Charles' problems are really like mine.

more a Telebit problem than Hayes and plan to call Telebit tech support on
this. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get my second line up and running so I can get

Randy: I am calling from Baltimore, MD and so far have not had a single
problem. Sort of odd, in that Tim (Winders) would logically be going out on the

Sprint beats the daylights out of AT&T and MCI for LD data communications.
That's not too surprising, since their 'public' division was born of Telenet --
they had lots of practice. Lately I am getting a kick out of the Sprint

Hey, what's the scoop????
I have heard two stories now from people claiming that they own a v.32 Hayes
modem that is v.32/v.42/v.42bis that is shipped in a regular hayes box that
bears a vseries name. The unit costs $609 from a place in phillie and bears
those facts. It is NOT an ULTRA modem, not a Vseries, not a Smartmodem 9600,
but a whole other beast.
Since this was the second time I heard about this, I wanna know. What's going
on? Does this modem exist? Was it a Pre-ULTRA? If it's $609, I'll certainly
buy some to pass on to my users.

and associated doc file will tell you haow to replace one of the listed

I am one of those corporate type purchasing agents and I only speciy Hayes for

internal modems they got saddled with by a best left unnamed laptop
manufacturer you'd know why in that FORTUNE 10 company USR is only mentioned in
the washroom. Second our data center runs 24 hours 365 days per year and none
of my Fortune 500 clients or prospects want to hear about how fast they can
communicate IF AND WHEN they can communicate. So if you offer me 100-200 more
CPS at $100.00 dollar savings you can keep it as the 1000 Hayes modems I was
responsible for the purchase of last year are running like the CONCORD Mariner
watch I wear on my wrist. You see, only the best for this boy!!!!!!
Just an aside, 1approx 80% of corporate individuals don't even recognize the
need for communication speeds over 2400 at this point in time. No need to
respond as we don't needa pissin' contest on a HAYES board, eh???

Thanks David. But was not trying to get a "P" contest going. As my previous

as Hayes being that the BBS community seems to be growing daily and many of
these NEW folks could very well be the NEW buyers of modems for business
without the experience that both you and I may have with GOOD/BAD modem
manufacturers. Was not trying to upset anyone, but being in business myself
and being the one in our office that is the only one that knows how to turn our
computer on let alone make it communicate with the Host unit in Sacremento, I
thought that possibly Hayes might want to concider the issue from a marketing
stand point. Hope that I did not upset you. Not my intention at all. I have
the Hayes Ultra on the board and will continue to support the Hayes systems as
best I can.

Not upset at all!!!! There was a time I only spec'ed out IBM machines but that

delivered the Price\Performance\Quality I have needed so I jump to their
defense rather quickly. I put Compaq's in a clients office when possible as I
know they will do the job, but at home I bought a super clone 386/33 for
price\performance, but at home again with my money I bought Hayes. Why??? In
the computer box market all parts are basically the same so I can count on the
manufacturer of the component to stand behind their parts (ie: C&T, AMI,
Phoenix, etc.) in the modem industry there is no choice you have to stick with
who you purchased from, hence HAYES. Regards, DAVID

Thanks for your thoughts Warren. No I was not referring to the overall
universitility of the USR over the HAYES. My point was merely that granted
Hayes has the majority of the business market but as far as the BBS community
it seems that USR has cornered that area. The future buyers of modems for
business purposes (which will be an ever increasing market as more businesses
start doing their work via modem) could possibly be the various sysops of BBS's
and/or their respective users. I was merely mentioning this fact if Hayes has
not realized yet that the BBS community is a growing concern which may very
well have a large impact on the future buying practices of business. Would it
not do Hayes well to be pushing more and more to retrieve some of the market in
the BBS area in order to further their market in the business arena. Merely a
marketing concept question is all it was.

Tom,
Don't really know of an off-line reader that is compatible with TBBS, but
when Hayes was "public" and had the Lounge, I simply turned a capture mode on
in my Qmodem, told the BBS to hit me non-stop, and logged off. 2 minutes worth
(that was at 2400). I then took the capture file and loaded it into Qedit, read
away, and cut out quotes to reply to, again using Qedit. I would write my
responses, save them as a standard DOS filename, and send them to my upload
dir. BTW, I would use names like I7986.txt to remind me that I was responding
to message #7986 in the IBM conf or whatever (sick, aren't we!?). I would log
back onto the system, pull up the messages that I had written a reply to, and
upload my response (notice where it asks you if you want to submit prepared
text?). Couple of minutes in the AM, and a couple of minutes in the PM is all
it takes.

Keep your left and right margins reduced a bit (which Qedit does *very*
nicely). Use margins of about 4 for left and 72 for right, it will keep your

Are you running at a fixed (locked) baud rate?
If so, S36 must = 7, so include S36=7 in your init string. You have to do that
so the modem will use the ASB (automatic speed buffering) mode.
Next, have you set your software up to support RTS/CTS (hardware) hand shaking.
DSZ must include the " handshake both" command line parameter.
Puma to must be configured to use RTS/CTS hand shaking.
Also if you software passing the LOCKED baud rate or the actual baud rate to
the transfer program?
Hope this helps some....

The problem you are having with ProCoom, is that they call Xmodem-1k/G,
Ymodem/G. Ymodem/G and Xmodem-1K/g are two different protocols. Ymodem/G is a
BATCH protocl, and is expecting a Header file. I'm not sure if this is the same
problem that was mentioned with Telix or not. It has ben several years from
when I last used or looked at Telix. It has also been a year or so since I

Subj: CCITT V.32BIS
I am Hayes' representative to the CCITT, and can fill you in on the particulars
of V.32bis.
V.32bis is in final draft stage at this time. It is backward compatible with
V.32. In addition to V.32's speeds of 4800 and 9600, V.32bis also supports
7200, 12000, and 14400bps, full-duplex, async or sync. It also supports a
"Rapid Rate Renegotiation" feature, which allows the modems to quickly modify
the data rate when necessary to respond to changing line conditions (under 100
milliseconds, rather than the 5-10 seconds it takes V.32 to change speeds).
V.32bis was technically agreed to by experts in Study Group XVII at the April,
1990, meeting in Geneva. At the next meeting, in October, it will be submitted
to the CCITT's "accelerated approval procedure". In order to become a standard
under this procedure, it must receive 100% approval of the countries attending
the meeting. It is then translated into the official CCITT languages, and sent
by mail to all of the countries in the United Nations. They have three months
to return their final vote; of those returning a ballot, 70% must vote to
approve the standard for it to be accepted. Therefore, the earliest that
V.32bis will be an "official" CCITT Recommendation is around the end of
February, 1991.

Josh, I just want to correct a couple of things in your message:

Actually, Ultra 96 also connects with Hayes V-series Smartmodem 9600 at 9600
using the Hayes fast-turnaround ping-pong modulation.
> The HST is not a V.32, I don't know what the HST is, but I would
> assume that it uses some compressiong to get the 9600 that it does.
The HST uses a proprietary asymmetrical modulation scheme that transmit
14,400bps in one direction (without compression) and 450bps in the reverse
direction. It can turnaround the line to switch the direction of the
high-speed circuit, but it takes a long time (250msec or more).

yet. Even with the standard Galacticomm default init string of
ATE0S0=1S2=1Q0V1X1&C1&D2&T I have beau coups of problems. For example, when a
user attempts to log on, the modem answers, I see a CARRIER message and then
the connection is aborted. This is with the system set for 9600 w/ no error
control protocols set. When I call in with an Ultra 9600, all seems to work
fine. Any ideas? Ken

Don't worry about disabling compression or error control, just add W2 and S95=2
to your init sting. All connect messages will come back like so....
CONNECT 9600
CONNECT 9600/ARQ
CONNECT 2400
CONNECT 2400/ARQ
and same goes for other baud rates.
Hope this helps.

If you are using the default init string, delete the &T5 from the end - I

Hi, I can't get Qmodem to connect properly. I got a carrier, and i hear the
negociation process between the two modems, but it doesn't stop. Suddenly, i
have all the data sent by the remote bbs to my dialing screen. At this time,
Qmodem did not recognize the connection and is still 'dialing' until the time
out. If i press escape, i remain online with the remote bbs and i can begin my

This seems like a really odd thing, so I thought I'd ask here.
I'm connecting V.42 with a local BBS running a dual standard. After the
connect, at some point, the two modems seem to get confused about something, I
can only guess at what.
Basically, I start typing the alphabet - abcdefghijkl and at some random point,

Subj: FILE TRANSFERS
Hi Randy. I am having a serious problem. Since I installed the ULTRA on the
BBS, users calling at less than 4800 bps can't transfer (up or down) files
using zmodem, ymodem, or puma. Zmodem and Ymodem work fine at high speed, it's
just the slower data rates that fail. DSZ starts as it normally would, with a
command line of, for instance, "dsz port 2 speed 2400 sb ALF.ZIP" (took that
from a screen dump as I watched a transfer fail). Ymodem trys to send the file,
but seems to have trouble synching with the receiver. Again, it works
FLAWLESSLY at 9600 or 19200, but the low speed callers are suffering. Puma
fails too, though at all speeds. At first I was getting "no carrier" messages
from PUMA. I changed the command line to ignore CD, and now it just never syn
chs up. You can see it trying, but it never gets started.
Finally, I work 10-6, and am on the road for an hour before and after that.
You can reach me voice in the computer room at Bally's Grand from 10-6 weekdays
at 609-340-7261. Or call the board at 609-263-2861 anytime and see what happens
for your self.

Oh, one more note, DSZ X-modem seems to work OK at the low speeds. I'm
really anxious to get this cleared up.

I'm having problems with the Ultra, and with this BBS.
First off, I came home today wondering why my line had been busy the entire day

home, and the HS, AA, OH, TR, and MR lights were on - and the CD light was off.
How can the modem do this? There was no Carrier Detect for hours, yet it was
still off hook.
Also, I keep getting booted off this BBS - it just hangs up on me if I don't do
anything for a few seconds. No idea why, no warning, just NO CARRIER.

differently is it incorporates AUTOSTREAM so you can download on all four

examples of how to do this. It's available for download now but I only have it
in .MAC (Word 4.0) format. I'm still waiting on the ASCII version from the

Randy, just how important is it to have a 16550 UART chip when using the Hayes
9600 modems. My parallel/serial card has a soldered-in 16450 UART chip so I
replaced it with a new card in which I put a 16550 UART chip and frankly I
didn't notice any difference in performance. Since the new card took up a
slot, I removed it and sold it to someone who wanted the 16550 UART chip and am
back running on the old 16450 chip. The sysop of Invention Factory tells me
that I'd get better results if I had the 16550 UART chip installed that the
high speed modems need it. Is this true?

you'll frequently not notice a big difference when downloading but if someone

errors or aborted transfers. Naturally, we SYSOPs don't want to discourage
uploads, do we? :-) I was lucky in being able to find a couple serial boards

have upgrades. I checked with the vendor from whom I bought the machine

Subj: REPLY TO MSG# 8241 (UART CHIPS)
There are some other circumstances which you should consider: if you are
multitasking, then you definitely need the buffering capabilities of the
NS16550AN chip. For example, at the HAL 9000 BBS I run DESQview with one copy
of PCBoard running in each of two windows. This means that the CPU now has
only half the time that it used to have to respond to interrupts. The
NS16550AN chip helps alleviate this burden by providing a larger HARDWARE
serial buffer. If the serial buffer of your 8250 or 14550 is overrun, this
means that blocks will have to be retransmitted thus slowing down your
effective transfer rate. However, this does not automatically mean that file
transfer rates will be accelerated beyond their normal speed. You are simply
increasing the ability of your CPU to handle other tasks successfully while
serial activity is taking place. These activities include writing to the
screen, writing to the disk, handling timer interrupts, handling other DOS
windows, etc.

happy to do one thing at a time. And at times, I find even that difficult.
Many thanks for the information. I've written Compaq asking if they can supply
and OEM serial/parallel card module with a 16550 installed to replace the 16450
that I've got. I know they will tell me to see my vendor, which I did and he

You might do what I did and get a cheap desoldering tool from Radio Shack, as

Bud, This can get to be an almost religous issue nowadays! You can't really go

any preformance improvement. In most cases if you're working with a dedicated
machine you shouldn't have any problems with a 16450 but if you run under a
network or a multitasker it would be highly recommended.

Randy,
You are aware that the older Macs (not the 68030 machines) and the Atari
ST's use the same CPU ? Although Atari says that the ST line has RTS/CTS, it
appears that this is NOT true. I was mearly observing that a Mac user was
having problems with disconnects in the IDENTICAL way that I was experiencing
them. I didn't think that the Atari ST line was poorly designed to use the
Ultra as compared to the Mac. You did say that..didn't you ? or was I
misunderstanding. I am not currently being disconnected and am (and have been)
using my basic 1/2 meg ST with the new Ultra. I had a problem until I installed
the TURBOCTS.PRG in an auto folder with my ST. I thought that it was a valuable
find and that was why I uploaded it to the Atari section. I was just trying to
help Tim out. I didn't realize that he was using the 32 bit 68030 Mac machine.

for 19,200 on both ends. But it appears that when &Q5 is set, callers at 2400
and lower bauds are unable to connect with any regularity. When I set the
system to 9600 baud max (&Q0 set), all works just fine.
I will be placing another call to Galacticomm tomorrow, but they have already
assured me that the string:
ATE0S0=1S2=1X1&C1&D2&T5&T
"should work". We all know about the &T5 warnings, but even with that removed,
it doesn't work over 9600.
Any additional ideas? (I'll try anything!) Ken

I know it sounds silly, but is your serial cable using all the pins? I had the
same problem, except it was reverse. All baud rates worked except for ERROR
CONTROL/COMPRESSION links, then after I got the new cable, all was swell!

If you would, can you send me the specifics of exactly which cable you are
using and where you purchased it from (and its price)? I have no problems with
ordering another cable... even if I then find out the cable was not the problem
(can never have enough cables around here, and I am expanding WTC to multiline
as soon as I get these Ultra problems resolved). Thanks much. Ken

Well the cable is really simple as can be. All you need is a straight 25 pin
to 25 pin cable, assuming you are using some kind of IBM compatible machine.
If you are using another type of computer, then I have no idea what the proper
cable would be.
If your cable already uses all 25 pins from end to end, you may want to use an
OHM meter (borrow a friends if you don't have one), and check the connection
from each pin to each pin.
I really can't recommend where to buy a cable (any for that matter), as I
always get me friend to make them for me. He makes all his own cables.
If you need a 9 pin to 25 pin cable, let me know and I can give you the
schematics for the proper conversion.

Thanks for the info. I'm using a straight 25-to-25 pin DB-25 cable and have no
problems connecting here, so I suspect there is some incompatability between
Ultra and Galacticomm when the error-control protocols are invoked. I have put
Randy and Les in touch with one another - maybe they can exchange products and
with both sides working on it, I'm sure it will be resolved shortly. In the
interim, WTC seems to work flawlessly with 9600 max.

Would it be safe to say that if your old Hayes VSM-9600 worked fine with it's
cable, you don't need a new one to use the new features of the ULTRA? I'm
willing to try anything since I'm back down to 2400 again.
Randy, please let us know when those lines are completely installed. Then I'll
gladly try connecting at 19.2k again.

Subj: SMARTCOMM - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
If I read the news correctly, it sounds as if Smartcomm Exec is the new,
fully-featured program to best utilize the Ultra?? Is that true?
In any event, what is the difference, both technically and with respect to
market positioning?
