- Following is excerpts from MANY messages on HST high speed V.42
-
- Thanks for the info Steve, BTW, would getting the v.42 upgrade allow me
- then to connect with a hayes V.42?
- If you mean the V series Hayes, yes... at 2400bps. If you mean the Hayes
- Ultra, again yes... at 2400. Perhaps you are confusing v.42 with v.32?
- ===
- No I was refering to the V.42 Hayes 9600.
- ===
- you mean to tell me that upgrading a V series modem still only gets a
- 2400 baud connection. Then why would anyone want to do the upgrade, what
- do I gain for the $50, and V.42 bis operation?
- Will any Hayes 9600 modem connect to any USR modem at 9600? If not,
- the what the hell good is a standard?
- ===
- Paragraph 1... I have no idea what you are talking about! What exactly
- are you upgrading, an HST?
-
- Paragraph 2... Yep, an Ultra will connect at 9600 with a Dual Standard
- using v.32. That is the standard. But the connects are at 9600, still ~50%
- slower transfers than with the HST-HST connect.
-
- As for what you gain with v.42, it is similar (but superior) to MNP. And
- with v.42bis you get 'intelligent' compression. You can leave it on and
- transfer ZIP files w/o the slowdown you see with MNP5. It senses the
- files is compressed and doesn't try to out-compress Phil Katz. Now, that IS
- smart!
-
- One thing that might help is to switch to &K3. Your &K1 gives you MNP5
- which you DON'T want.

-
- Using a 14.4k HST, I always get my fastest transfer speeds with &K0
- and ZmodemMobyTurbo...if you want text to scroll fast however, you
- will need to have compression on, so I would suspect you are right
- about the &K3 setting, it does make text fly....

-
- Yep unless you &A3 you will connect fine with V.42 but it won't show on
- the connect message. It's getting to have so much info that the dialer
- windows on most prg's don't room to display the whole connect string.
