- Well, I got my new modem... it's a SupraFaxModem... it arrived in
- less than 2 weeks (and I'm in Canada) straight from Supra... not bad.
-
- However, I've got a few problems with it... I run a BBS under
- Maximus 2.01 and things are not working 100%. It started out so that no
- one could even connect to the thing unless they had another 'faster than
- 2400 baud' modem, which amounts to about 1 person here on P.E.I., but I
- fixed that. Now, the major problem I have is this... when users call up
- my board... they are losing some of the characters... namely the ones at
- the beginning of the transmission... Like they lose the top two lines of
- a Menu but pick up half way through.... I guess anything that starts at
- the top of a screen just doesn't all come through.
-
- Now, I know that I'm connected at 2400 with them, I know that from
- the cute little display that flashes '24' at me. So.... what am I doing
- wrong. Here's my Init String, I made it up generally by myself with some
- assistance from the very adequate manuals that accompanied the modem:
-
- AT&F2&Y0E0M0V1S0=0 (Right? Wrong? I'm no expert, but it answers!)
-
- Also, I have my Baud Maximum set to 19200baud.... but the modem will
- actually only do 14.4k with max throughput of 57.6k... should I set it to
- one of these instead? Oh yeah, I have CTS/DSR enabled, I don't REALLY know
- what those are either... but Maximus suggests that for faster than 9600 you
- really should enable them.
-
- Finally, when a call comes in, Maximus says that it's connected at
- 19200.... even though it's only at 2400? Any idea why? Any help would be
- greatly appreciated. The sooner the better as I'd like to get this puppy
- working ASAP. Thanks a lot
