 Can someone help me log on to my local FreeNet with a new Zoom modem
 I bought several weeks ago? At present I still have to use my old
 external Premier Innovations P2400E for the purpose, while I use the
 new internal V.34I 2805C for the local computer society BBS. And I
 have Telix 3.22 installed twice in order to do so; slow for SCFN with
 the P2400E on COM2 IRQ3; fast for TBCS with the 2805C on COM3 IRQ5.
 At first I couldn't log on to either SCFN or TBCS. After much help
 from Zoom's faxback service, I finally got back on to TBCS with the
 init string AT&F&C1&D2+MS=11,0,19200,28800, but nothing worked with
 SCFN. Zoom's tech finally said "Looks as if your software's screwing
 up".
 My 'fast' Telix is set up with the above init string; computer to
 modem 38400,N81,FDX; prefix ATDT; modem to modem (for SCFN)
 VT102,2400,N81, auto baud detect off. Problem there would seem to be,
 if I find a string that enables SCFN, it won't work with TBCS any
 more. But at least I'd only have to use one modem, even if I had to
 keep two installations of Telix. (BTW, no, when trying SCFN I was NOT
 using the 'fast' init string. I only use that for TBCS).
 I wonder if there's some sort of hardware conflict going on, and
 someone with the exact same setup would have to test it to see what's
 up. I have a Packard Bell Legend 300SX with Phoenix ROM BIOS 1/15/88
 80386 V 1.10 1113. I don't know what type of modems SCFN has; only
 that their max speed for now is 2400. The Zoom tech dialled them up
 (813-298-1653) with two different modems, and had no problem. So the
 conflict surely has to be caused by either the PB, or Telix.
