- I use 14.4 turbo modem ... have had no problems with it connecting or loosing
- data - when running with Communications (from Crosstalk) which came with it.
- When running in windows i often get junk characters ( i am using the terminal
- program that came with windows 3.1) - but I think that is a problem with my
- system speed and how the windows software works. I connect through portal on
- a trailblaizer rack - it screeches twice ... beeps once ... then connects ( I
- think this is standard protocol search but I'm not sure). Any way it always
- connects (it has never not connected) at what ever protocol i've tried, which
- are: v.32 , v.32bis , v.42 , v42.bis . I also have never lost a connection
- through line noise - except if someone picks up the phone then hangs it UP -
- picking up the phone alone doesn't cause a disconnect.
-
- It has a 8031 cpu, didn't list the other chips ... and didn't see anything
- about changable ROMs in the manual ( I'm not hip enough to this kind of thing
- so I really didn't look into the hardware of it at all).
