RB>> Well, I could say that this is not the only feature that Rockwells

 RB>> have that they paid money for & is useless. With a Rockwell, you pay

 RB>> What you don't get is the 3300cps thoughput for the 28800 connect.

 WT> Oh CMON! I'm getting a little sick of your bash bash bash rockwell.



 Hey, I'll play your silly game.



 WT> This whole paragraph is bull. I get 28.8k connects almost all of the



 Ah, yes but there IS TRUTH in what I say.



 WT> time and at minimum I get 3240cps and I tend to get 3280-3300cps

 WT> quite alot. Especailly to USR modems when I lock MNP/4. I think this



I admit, I can not fault the SupraFaxModem (Rockwell) for connecting

and delivering at 28800 & 3300cps to USR's or anything else.

But that is the only one.



 WT> is due to their 64S-4D trellis coding. And even this only gives an



 It can't be because of Their 64state trellis coding unless your

 modem also supports 64state trellis coding.

 ...NO ROCKWELL SUPPORTS 64S...



 WT> extra 20cps and only when I lock mnp/4. Really my lines are no better



 That is a feature of mnp4, be it on a rockwell or USR. Nothing to

 do with the brand of the chipset or modem.

 You have not proof of how good your lines really are unless you use

 a Datascope (professional gear) or have a USR Courier (anyone can

 have one) both ends and use their Line Probe Diagnostic feature.



Anything Rockwell just give you a %L %Q 2 digit number (great help)

All you have to go on, other that actual throughput CPS (and that

 RB>> Zealot mode off



 WT> Leave it off, please!



 I am not really a "USR ZEALOT" I have Rockwells & USR's

 I consider that the only Rockwell Modem worth any salt is the

 SupraFaxModem 288i (because it uses Flash Rom to change\enhance

 the code controlling the Rockwell Datapump, and Supra actually DO

 delve quite deeply into turning a silk purse into a sow's ear)

 ALL OTHER ROCKWELLS either just do cosmetic changes to rockwells

 own controller or do nothing at all to improve their controller

 code over the other clone makers code
