PE>> 3. Modem is initiating a retrain straight after each connect, even with

PE>> V32bis modems.  I would expect that the initial negotiation would have

PE>> figured that out, no need for a retrain on every single bloody call.



 RS> This is completely mindless behaviour when its being called by a

 RS> V32bis modem. The USR shouldnt be demanding a full retrain straight

 RS> after the connect at all, and shouldnt even be attempting a fall

 RS> forward since its already at the maximum possible speed of 14400.

 RS> I get exactly the same result with Poe and the

 RS> Bulldog too, so it cant be Pauls line or setup.

 RS> I never see anything remotely like that calling anything but a USR V34+ 

 RS> either.



So then, It has to be the 18 July Austel nobbled SDL in the Austel Approved

Couriers that is causing it.

I would like to try a connection to you with my Domestic Courier and the

Latest you Beaut 1 Nov Code just to see If It is the Austel Hack at fault.

Any chance of that.?? 



RB>> Is this Rod's, What Chip revision is it.



 RS> Yes, note this is a SupraFaxModem V32bis, not V34 or VFC.

 RS> ati3 produces V1.80-03 TR14-Jxxx-001 005



I should have taken Bill's Advice and contacted you back in June 95

Re doing a deal with you to trade up to a SupraFaxModem V.34. (Big improvement)

I had a quantity at Cost price. I Didn't think I could handle

the rejection, though....V.34 extension will be through in June or so now,

so you wouldn't have been happy anyway
