Hello Out there!! I am having MAJOR problems with a SUPRA 2400 Modem. I don't have any documentation for it, as I bought it second hand. Here is what happens. It initializes as OK and when given the ATDT command it will go "off-hook" but it will not dial. Is there a dial prefix I need and do not have? Nothing I have tried has worked yet, and I have even tried to reset the modem to "factory presets" (the command string for that I found in the docs for JR-Comm V1.01) without any luck yet. I think the hang-up { :^) } is in the DIAL PREFIX…….HELP!!! I sure would appreciate ANY and ALL help! KEN DUNHAM 76467,601 – via Whap!

Try typing either "E1" or "&F" then "&W" this enables the command echo and the result codes. Also you can run the modem test by using "&T1". Try these, I have had the same problem once in a while, these have helped me. Richard Erickson

Ken, First thing…(this may sound silly)…make sure it's plugged in to the phone line and that it's getting a dial tone. Next, as you tried…set the factory defaults by typing in AT&F and a carriage return. You should get an OK prompt. Now clean out any stored parameters (at least for the moment) by now typing in AT&W and a carriage return. Again…you should see an OK prompt. Now try dialing with an ATDT<phone number>. What do you hear from it's speaker? Do you get a dial tone, and then tones indicating it's dialing? If not…try dialing with pulse rather than tones… ATDP<phone number> and see if you hear the clicking as it pulses the phone line. Oh yea…presuming it's plugged into the phone line…make sure it's plugged into the jack on the back labeled LINE, not the jack labeled PHONE. Don

Ken, I don't have it in front of me, but I believe that I set non-volatile memory with: AT&F&C1&D2&W The Supra uses the normal Hayes command set. Betty

Ken, Are you using the 2400zi internal supra modem? It requires all telecommunciation programs to use the device called modem0.device. They include a program "Modemmodify" that will search through any telecommunications program and modify the program appropriately. Whap! doesn't require it because under parameters they have included the option to specify the device the modem uses. Hope that helps. Jerry
