John- I deleted the T9600 file and set my modem init string to AT &F2 – just like you suggested. I called my local 9600 node, and got a successful connection. The *second* time I tried to log on (nothing changed) I could not get a connection at all! The modem tries to connect, but comes back 'NO CARRIER'. I tried &F0 in the init string, to see if I could get a reliable connection with no compression or error correction – same deal. (First time OK, next time nothing) I'm ready to give up on CI$ at 9600! (^_^) Len Lekx [73300,723]

Len: It sounds to me like you are changing the modem settings, but not saving them to permanent ROM… thus, you connect fine on the first try, but when the modem resets, it restores the old settings. Look in your Supra manual for the AT command to save the settings to rom. Hope this helps. Michael …..on AutoPilot

Michael- I've saved two different settings – one for general telecom use and one for Whap. I used the &Wx command to (supposedly) write them into the NVRam of the modem. Thanks for the comments. Len Lekx [73300,723]

Len, There is no space in the init string. AT&F2. You said the second time. you got nothing. Not even a carrier from CIS??? JOHN – The Lost Southerner!!

John- The second time – I got the carrier, but no 'CONNECT' message. It would just sit and whine at me. I'd have to abort manually. (Actually, I think I have it licked. ^_^) Len Lekx [73300,723]

Sorry to hear of your problems. My boss just got one of these beastie, so I'm curious to know how you finally resolve the problem. The only problem we have had thus far with his modem is that it doesn't seem to want to communicate with my US Robotics WorldPort 9600BAUD V.32 MNP5 modem. We CONNECT 9600, but neither machine receives the characters typed by the other. Seriall settings match on both machines, and we have both logged onto local BBS' at 9600 baud w/o problems. It is only when we try to talk between the 2 Amigas that I have this trouble. (It isn't a problem with full/half duplex, either). Have you noticed any similar problems, and if so is there a way to alleviate it. Thanks, Erik Flom

Erik- Sorry, but I can't help you. I don't know anyone with that particular modem, so I can't test it out myself. (^_^) I'm getting so many weird things happening with this new modem, I'm *almost* regretting my decision to get it. (That is, until I look at my Whap screen during a download and it says '950 cps'. ^_-) Len Lekx [73300,723]
