- I'm helping a friend use her PPI 14.4K external modem to connect to
- the LEXIS legal database. The dialing is handled in software, and
- the modem makes a 9600 connection correctly. However, I noticed that
- while data was being sent and recived without problems, the modem's LCD
- still displayed "Negotiating". Has anyone else had this problem? Is the
- fact that the modem appears not to have formalized the connection
- serious (could it cause carrier drop or data loss)?
-
- Thanks,
