-
- I'm using a Zoom v.32bis FAX modem now.
-
- its ok, except that when talking to the Supra on noisy lines the modems will
- not connect, they drop carrier if you attempt a V.32bis connection. (you have
- to use straight V.32 on noisy lines if you want a connection)
-
- and sometimes it refuses to connect how YOU want (example, dialing using N0
- mode should allow you to setup a V.32 connection while talking to the modem at
- 38400 and not using COMPRESSION, however the modem likes to insist you drop to
- 9600 bps) I usually just reset it and it listens to me.
-
- I have had no problems using over longdistance lines to USR's I get V.32bis
- connects easily.
-
- if you have a GS and you are not using flow control you do have to program
- EVERYTHING related to the flow control pins since the Zoom wont talk unless
- ALL of the flow control lines are set to IGNORE.
-
- for about $250 its a great V.32 and good V.32bis modem, plus it does do FAX.
