I have a Practical Peripherals internal 2400 baud MNP
modem which I bought recently.
At 1200 baud it works great; I have accessed boards all
over the country with no difficulty.
But at 2400 baud I get lots of noise. The noise seems
to be on the receiving end, i.e., I see lots of noise
characters on stuff that's echoed to me but the boards
on the other end seem to get everything I send OK. I've
tried several different boards and have always had the
same problem but I've had no problems at 1200 baud.
I know that noise is a bigger problem at 2400 baud than
at 1200 baud but how do I tell if there is something
more seriously wrong with the modem?
None of the boards I accessed are "local" they are all
in at least another area-code if not in another state.
The only BBS's that I know of in my area code (508)
are actually farther away than the ones in other area
codes (like 603 or 617), so I'm sure there is a certain
amount of noise, but I don't know what's reasonable.
I bought a 2400 baud modem to reduce long-distance charges!
Thanks in advance. ---Peter
