Hi

I am also having problems with the Orange romp.

I originally started using the Orange data/fax services in May '99.
Once I used the init string ATS35=0 I had no problems at all. A very
happy Orange/Demon customer was I. I was using a Nokia 6150e and a
Dell Inspiron 7000, Nokia Data suite 2.0a and the Dau9p cable
connection.

Last November I started having problems. I found that I could only
connect about 20% of the time. If I did get a connection then after
approx 2.5 minutes I would get no data throughput at all. I had in
fact messed about with the laptop/modem combo and so thought it might
be me. Because of this and because I was about to upgrade my hardware
I didn't follow up my problems.

In January I received my new Nokia 7110e and Psion Series 5MX. Great
thought I, real mobile connectivity at last. After a few false starts
I became proficient at setting modem and internet settings on the
series 5. All worked fine on Demon's 0845 numbers. Good solid
connection with good constant throughput. However if I tried to use
the Orange romp, same problem as before. Only about 20% connection
success and then throughput failure after about 2 -3 minutes. I called
Orange who said it was a Demon problem. Demon were helpful ish and
escalated the query. When they came back to me a week later they said
it was an Orange problem as the romp equipment itself is on Orange
premises. Back to Orange who again could offer no help!!

I have tried some experimenting using different init strings and flow
controls. ATS35=, AT+CBST=71,0,1 and ATK4 all have no effect on
reliability or connection success. Different Orange cells also do not
affect the problem. Can anyone at Demon PLEASE help.

Thank you.
