Hope I'm not showing too much ignorance here, but having had
difficulty connecting with a US Robotics Sportster 28,800 modem to the
Ascends at Demon, I may have stumbled on something of interest. Maybe
not. I have just set the S54 register to 128 against the advice to set
it to 96. It seems to work fine at the moment, but then again, have
things changed at Demon's end?

I am using the string AT&F1E1Q0V1&C1&D3&K3S0=3D0S54=3D128S56=3D128 which =
I
have written to the nvram, and I initialize the modem with ATZ.

I found the following document very useful:  "How to connect to Demon
reliably" at http://www.ftech.net/~horizon/richard/modem.hts.

<snip>  [ a properly configured USR Courier has no problem at all with
the Ascend Terminal servers, particularly if you set S54=3D128 thus
forcing the use of the V.FC Rockwell 28,800 emulation] <snip>
