- I received my Supra modem almost two months ago now and have been very happy
- with it. Lately however several sysyops have commented that they can tell when
- I am trying to log on to their systems because of the number of connects /
- disconnects they record before I actually arrive with carrier.
-
- I really hadn't noticed because I usually auto dial several boards at once
- while doing other things. But lately I have turned the speaker on and followed
- the actual events closely. One thing that I have noticed is that sometimes I
- hear a ringing tone, a click then the modem disconnects and dials the next
- number in the queue. This happens in NComm2.0 and Jr-Comm environments.
-
- I have resorted to dialing up the numbers in tandem with my voice line as sort
- of an error prone half assed check and receive ringing and carrier over 50% of
- the time.
-
- The question I have is, is anyone else experiencing this or having experienced
- it found a fix or is this, one for the ROM upgrade? I just set S10=255 and got
- a connection immediately - of course this could have been the attempt when it
- was going to work anyway :-)
-
- I know this isn't as complete a post as it could be but if you have any hints
- or settings that you have created that works around any of this apparent
- problem I would be very happy to hear about it.
