While listening to Michael Raiteri Pete heard:Connection Problems

G'day Michael


 WE> WE> When the line is free, the modem works flawlessly. However,
 WE> WE> I now  seem to have a problem with Telix interpreting the
 WE> WE> time for download,  whereby the original estimated time will
 WE> WE> be a ridiculuosly low 0.5 minutes (or so), but the actual
 WE> WE> time might be 5 or 8 minutes. Any bright ideas?

 MR> I have the same problem. it appears its a bug common with Telix
 MR> as well  as a  number of other comms programs.  It seems to be
 MR> connected with  the original signal that comes down the line.

 MR> With a 14400 modem with 42 bis on the original connect will come
 MR> back as 38400 and Telix appears to use that speed to calculate
 MR> the transfer time.

Telix uses the number after the 'CONNECT' as a basis to calculate the
approximate download time and if your modem is setup to return DTE
instead of DCE it will use speeds like 38400 -> 115200 for that
calculation, set your modem to return DCE 'ATW2' will do it i think
and the aprox time will be closer to the mark FWIW Telix seems close
to the mark on DL times between actual and suggested here ver 3.22
DOS.
