 TD> Hi All,

Thats because (probably) you didn't tell it to ignore the status, so
when the path from the dialer is closed, it thinks its supposed to
hangup and does. The correct command is "At&D0"

BTW, don't be surprised if that multitech has connection problems
unless they fixed them. I tried to use an ISP that had their 28.8
cards in rack mounts, they were so bad one of them couldn't call its
neighbor over the dialup!  And of course I was always told it was my
modem anytime I was having a problem.  Well, after $700 worth of
modems all failed to connect properly, I got smart and changed the
ISP.  This one uses Supra Flashers similar to my Cardinal 28.8.
Works great now.


 TD> 31250 baud, RTS/CTS, 8N1.

Whoops! 31250 is a midi speed, and unless theres an awfully smart
modem out there on the end of the cable, it will be lost trying to
figure out what your computer is telling it.  Using seriel.device on
the stock hardware you will find isn't very reliable above 19,200.
YMMV of course, a 40 mhz 1200 could probably do 57,600 if you don't
multitask too heavily. Baud rates that are legal baud rates are the
powers of 2, starting at 1200 baud. eg, 1200, 2400, 4800. 9600,
19,200, 38,400 are the basic ranges, but then somehow 57,600 and
115,200 became part of the list, and they aren't powers of 2 from the
rest.  The next obvious one would have been 76,800 but it never
seemed to catch on.

 TD> The modem works fine with GPFAX and TERM 4.5.
At what baud rates?

I've noticed, but why must we suffer for so long?
