PPI & Supra connections
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!!!!!
