I have just bought a SimpleModem (28.8 VFast). I'm quite happy with it so
far except for a problem I'm having with the MelbPC BBS system. Basically,
I get what appear to be good 28,800, LAP-M (V42?) connects but things get a
bit jerky on the screen with long pauses between screens of info and then
often, click - NO CARRIER.

I have tried locking my comm port (using Telix with 16550) at 38,400 and 
57,600 with hardware handshaking etc on. My previous modem, a Banksia Bit
Blitzer MX6 worked flawlessly with this same setup. (Perhaps I should have
waited a few more weeks till Banksia came out with their PRO V34?)
 
I'm not sure, but I think MelbPC use Netcomm modems which is why your
message above interests me.

Do you know how to disable this auto fax/data feature on the Simple?

I would also like to hear what a good basic init string is for it. At the
moment I am using:

AT&C1&D2W1

Which works fine on the Internet (PPP) and most BBS's except for Melbpc BBS
as detailed above.

Any help from Simple Modem owners appreciate.

Cheers,
