Thanks to all who helped, but I still get an error on the first
attempt to connect. I first need to determine if I have to flash any upgrades
and how to better describe my modem to various software (eg drivers). Win98
and WinCIM 2.6.1 and ComitW and MS-Kermit all do not have any obvious support
for this modem. (cc e-mail appreciated).
Modem = "US Robotics X2 SP 33600 Winmodem PC DFVP" aka "Gateway X2 Telepath"
Problems:
- Most programs get error when they send codes to modem, but work on retry
- many actions (even pure DOS 6.22) are in spurts or jerky
- Stefan Cordes "FAXEN" (DOS Fax Class 2) fails on AT+FLI="0000-0000"
- ComitW creates an INIT string different from what I told it
and does not recognise when connection is made - continues to wait
- Gateway web patch p/n start with 600, not 87 -- huh, why??

Your modem is already V.90 (see ati7 report, Options)

Not sure what that means. If the modem is not a Winmodem. It is, as far as I
can tell, a hardware modem having a controller and a DSP. It is properly
identified in the ati3 report:
> ati3: Telepath 56K Voice Faxmodem V4.7.35
If it was a Winmodem, it would not operate in pure DOS but may operate in a
DOS window within Windows.
> - Most programs get error when they send codes to modem
> some programs continue, other fail.
Problem is program dependent. Without knowing what is sent to the modem, no
one can tell you why the errors occurred. It is likely that the errors are
caused by invalid commands for that modem. This happens when the modem is
not properly identified for the program.

USR does not support fax class 2, it supports fax class 2.0. Yes, there is a
difference.

That's because it isn't a Winmodem probably and that is a better
identification for what you actually have. The Telepath modem you have is
made by USR and is what we call n OEM model.

You left off way too much information from the ati6. However, based upon the
53333 peak speed, you are likely having too much trouble maintaining a speed
and this results in the jerkiness and poor throughput. Limiting the max
speed through the use of a command pair (&Unn&Nnn) will smooth things out
and improve throughput. (blurb on doing this at end of post)
> ati7:

The USR modem model closest to your is the 001749-02.
> Options V32bis,V.80,V.34+,x2, V.90
Shows that you have V.90 enabled already.
> Fax Options Class 1/Class 2.0
Note fax options.

This is the proper init but the reset should also be AT&F1
USR modem stalling and Unable to Retrain problems---
It means the modem is having a lot of trouble maintaining the speed at
which it thinks it should be able to stay connected.
To determine if the USR modem is the cause of the problem and can be
adjusted to overcome it, you will need to go dump some data after a normal
session online. To do this, follow the next few steps...
1. After disconnecting from the ISP, open a terminal program that does not
initialize the modem with ATZ (Hyperterm will do just fine).
2. Send the modem ati6i11 and save the results either to the printer or a
file (whichever you feel more comfortable with)
3. In the first part of the display, look for high numbers in Blers (in the
thousands if the call was over 20 minutes, high hundreds otherwise),
Retrains (anything above 0), Link Timeouts and Link Naks (more than a few).
In the second part, look for the Speedshifts portion (not available on
Winmodems)and look for a value higher than 1.
If you found the "bad" numbers indicated in step 3 then do the following...
In the ati6, you will see what speed the modem was last connected
at. Examine that. If it is high, or fairly so, you might consider
trimming the range in which the modem operates to bring it down a notch
or two. For instance, if the speed was 49333 then try limiting the upper
limit to say 48000. You can do this through the use of the &Unn&Nnn
command parameters. You must use both parameters or it will not work the
way you want. To find the values, go into a terminal program and
enter...
at&$
Choose a value for &U that is low enough to be comfortable, like the
value for 19200. Choose the value for the &N that reflects a step or two
down from the speed shown in that ati6 you dumped.
Put these values in your Extra settings box and try that.
No guarantees but it's worth a try.

I would suggest removing your Telepath X2 modem and looking for U.S.
Robotics part numbers on it.
I have a Gateway G6-233 with with a Telepath for Windows with x2 modem.
After removing the Telepath card, I looked for US Robotics information on
it, and found the following: 'SPORTSTER 0478' and '87173100 R:2'. A search
of the USR web site showed information for the USR OEM Gateway 87173102
WinModem.
You might be able to find similar part numbers on your Telepath modem.

Subject: Re: Upgrade/Tweak USR X2 Telepath
I am to figure out what modem it is. It does not (from the ati resp.) look
like a 33k winmodem that is for sure. It looks like it is already upgraded to
v.90 telepath to me. That is most likely why it won't let you flash. But
where the upgrade came from may be a wonder if you did not flash it already.
There is a program on smf.ai.ru that will flash sportssters to any version,
perhapps that was ran on it by another owner???
But anyhow, lets go into DOS kermit/HYPERTERM and see what gives. You need
to directly attacch to the serial port at either 115200 or 57600 baud. Then
set hardware flow control. You can type atdt123-4567 and dial a v.90 local
ISP and see what rate you get. After you get the connect message, you can
just hang up with an escape seq s l o w-ly typed of <CR>+++<CR>ATH (1 second
between chars is good). The jerkyness may be due to a bad phone line to you
home that can not give good v.90 rates. Do you hear noise when you speak on
a real phone on this line? When the noise interfers with the data, the two
modems have to resend and that is why it gets jerky.
