Here is a good one for you. A friend of mine just recently purchased a PPI 14400 Baud modem, and I have the Supra 14400 FaxModem. We have tried several times to connect with one another but without success. Now the carrier is detected at both ends, I get a 14400 CARRIER but no connect message. Also both of our modems tell us that we are not using Data Compression or error correction, which we should be. Now I can call every high speed BBS in town and connect with no problems, and so can he. Whenever we connect up with a BBS we get 14400 with compression & error correction, but for some reason we just can't get hooked up to each other. Another strange thing is that there is a IBM user that has the PPI modem that connects to my BBS and he doesn't have any problems. My friend and I have different Amiga's, I'm using a 3000 with 12megs and he has a 1000 with 8 megs. But what it seems to boil down to is that although we can get a 14400 carrier at each end, for some reason the modems don't want to use data compression or error correction between each other. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong? HELP!!!!! John – K7KB (Flying via AutoPilot)
