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.
