Hello all, I got a problem with my Modem. I use a TKR 14400 bps modem V.42bis & V.32bis, MNP-5, V.29, V.27ter and V.21. I am running This modem on my AMIGA and the AFax-Software as a demo Version. Here is my Problem: – the program starts to sync the modem – and then it says "Trans. Error (DTE)" Thanks For any help! Chris // \X/ With a 😉 from Germany… AutoPilot!

Chris: Class 2 fax standards have not yet been ratified. AFAX uses one of the earlier class 2 proposals and may not be up to the task of driving the implementation used in your modem. I have heard reports that AFax will work with the Supra modems, but I have personal experience with this. I could not get AFax to work with my ZOOM 9624e. You might try droping a note via Email on the internet to David Sanborn/CBorn Software: sol.deakin.OZ.AU!drum3!dave

Actually, I got a copy of AFAX from one of our local boards and decided to order the shareware version. Unfortunately, the Australian telephone given in the documentation has been disconnected – so I'll buy GPFAX. (I got my Supra V.32bis before the bundled package with GPFAX was available.) – Nancy D.

I'm sorry to hear that about the C-Born phone #. It's been several weeks since mt last communication with Dave, but for quite some time I was sending him Email via CIS-Internet and getting responses from him usually within 24 hours. I'll drop him another note and ask about phone contact. BTW, why would you spend the $$ on overseas long distance phone charges when you can use the Internet?

Michael, you are wrong. The committee voted on the ballot and it passed. It has now been submitted for official release (just a formality…) The class 2 now being used in current modems will need to be updated as there are substantial differences. Expect to see product upgrades by the end of the year. -Jonathan

Great! Glad to hear that it has been ratified… and can't wait for companies to start implementation.

I too am glad it has been ratified. It'll be several months before we see anyone releasing anything on it. The people who have done class 2 based on the previous ballot will find it easier to implement than those who chose to stay with just class 1. I expect to see hardware and software by the first of the year. Whether that is on the Amiga platform or not, we will have to wait and see. -Jonathan

I don't know anything about the modem, but do you have RTS/CTS hardware flow control set in preferences, and not Xon/Xoff flow control? If the latter, set it to RTS/CTS. Let me know if that fixes the problem. Lee Olsen / Orlando, FL – on AutoPilot
