(Applies to data & fax)
NOTE>>> The phone company claims the bandwidth of the phone lines will
only support 9600. Most of the time, from most locations we know from
experience that often 12,000 or 14,400 can actually be acheived. However
when the connections for whatever reason won't support the faster speed, it
should come as no surprise. Sometimes you can force a higher than 9600
connect, and get some (or a lot) of garbage characters. When the connect is
TOO poor, the modems will not even stay connected. In such a case use one
of the 9600 dial prefixes (insert or pp11-7 or 10-7) or set fax to a slower
speed. If you connect at a slower (9600) speed a file transfer may actually
be faster than at 14,400 because of a 'clearer' connection. The latest
chips normally will try to negotiate a speed slower than 14,400 or 12,00
if line conditions aren't good enough. So if you are forcing the higher
speed, you may never connect.
When you can call vitrually every fax, but say cannot call another
V32bis faxmodem (Zoom - Zoom), it is probably the 14,400 problem, so set
the fax software to 9600 and try it.
