This any help??



Your software must support fixed or variable serial port rates, and must be 

set to either of the two settings.  NOTE:  Your software may refer to these 

options with terms like locked serial port (fixed rate) or autobaud (variable 

rate).



&Bn     Serial port rate variable or fixed.

        &B0     Variable rates.  When the modem switches its connection rate 

                to connect with a modem operating at a different rate, it 

                also switches its serial port rate.  The software or 

                terminal also switches serial port rates to match the 

                connection rate.  



        &B1     Fixed rate.  Default.  The modem always communicates with 

                the terminal or computer at the rate at which you have set 

                the terminal or software, regardless of the connection rate.  

                For the greatest throughput, set the serial port to 115.2K, 

                57.6K, 38.4K bps for high speed calls and to at least 9600 

                bps for 2400-bps calls.



                This setting is not affected by the &N setting.  However, 

                the serial port rate must be equal to or higher than the &Nn 

                rate.



        &B2     Fixed for ARQ calls/Variable for non-ARQ calls.  Answer mode 

                only.  When the modem goes off hook and connects in ARQ 

                mode, it shifts its serial port rate up to a user-specified 

                rate, for example, 38.4K bps.  If the connection is not 

                under error control, the modem behaves as if it were set 

                to &B0 and switches its serial port rate to match the 

                connection rate of each call.



                To implement this feature, first set your software to the 

                desired rate.  Then send the modem the AT &B2 [other 

                settings] &W command.  



                The modem stores the rate of the command in NVRAM along 

                with the settings.  Each time it makes an ARQ connection, 

                the modem checks NVRAM for the specified serial port rate. 



                When sending subsequent configurations to NVRAM, be sure 

                your software is set to your selected serial port rate, 

                so that the correct rate is maintained.



DH>> Mine is now too.  Changed over to the SDL0705 version yesterday.  Works 

DH>> fine, and beats the -20 or worse dbm send level AustHell problem.



DH>> If you haven't got it already, F/R of SDL0705.ZIP from 711/809 or 

 PE> 711/810.



 PE> David Drummond just sent it to me, but it is called SDL0705A.ZIP.

 PE> I will install that one now, and you can then tell me whether
