- I would suspect that you have a modem setup problem.
- What is your setup string? What settings do you have set in the modem?
- What software are you using? Could it be the software? Could be...
-
- We use PCBoard 14.5a/10 and have had the PM14400FXSA up and running
- for about 5 months now and have had NO PROBLEMS. Better than 20 callers
- a day on average with all sorts of speeds, and 0 problems.
-
- I would review how you are setup and carefully get everything right.
- There are several utilities on the PPI BBS that could be helpful to you.
- If you are using PCBoard there is the PCBmodem.exe program which includes
- support for the PM14400FXSA in the setup and will do all the settings
- for you.
