Hello Malcolm,

I'm by no means an expert but can sympathise with your problems as I too
own a Motorola 3400 Pro, and have experienced very similar difficulties
for some time now.

Having recently shouted for assistance to "Turnpike", the very helpful
Dave English provided me with some suggestions.

I'm delighted to say this has cured all my problems (well at least those
related to modems) :-)

Try the following string:

SEND 'AT&FY0&D3&R0\\M0\\N4\\V4\r'
WAIT 3 "OK"
SEND 'AT*AS0*MM12S9=12S10=28\r'
WAIT 3 "OK"

This has worked for me, giving an excellent connection almost always.

I should point out that this is using the COLT access number, I am still
unable to reliably connect via Energis.

Wishing you the best of luck.

Regards,
