- We are experiencing difficulty with our modem connecting with an IBM
- Control Unit Model 7171. There are 16 lines here at the Czech Academy
- of Sciences Informatics Institute connected to an IBM 4361 host.
- Because of the poor quality of phone lines in Eastern Europe, our
- external connections through modems and the CU are frequently dropped,
- but the modem remains on-hook and we have to manually power off and
- reset. This is especially a problem over the weekend when the system
- is running without operators. Do you know of any software that could
- automatically take the modem off-hook when the connection is dropped?
- We use Gandalf ACCESS Series 24A and Hyundai HMD 2404M external
- modems. All modems on the host side use MNP5 because it is the only
- way to establish reliable connections for more than five minutes
- given, again, the quality of the lines. The Czech government is
- working on improving phone quality, we may have digital fiber optic
- lines in Prague by the end of 1993.
