Global Village Teleport Gold and InterSLIP

Hi,

I'm using a Global Village Teleport Gold with interSLIP on a Mac Quadra
610. I recently upgraded to 2.5.5 of their software, and have been having
some minor problems since then.

With v 2.08b, if the v.42bis setting was checked in the Teleport Control
Panel, and the Init Modem checkbox was checked, the modem would connect to
the Pitt Modem pool and show a check next to v.42bis in the staus menu.
This, I assumed, meant the modem was connected and v.42bis compression was
activated.

Since I upgraded to 2.5.5, this is no longer the case. Even though the
Control Panel stting is the same, the staus menu no longer shows v.42bis
as active, and transfer times are quite a bit slower.

InterSLIP uses a dialing script (in this case a modified ARA 1.0 dialing
script) to negotiate the connection with our modem pool. in this script
there are settings written to the modem. Here is the relevant pieces of
the script:

What I would like to do is modify this script so that v.42bis compression
is enabled.

Can anyone help? Please post responses to me as e-mail at
cmcst42@pitt.edu. Thanks.

Chris
