subject: USR Courier V34 problems

DD> Mr Speed's Supra can only manage to connect here at 14,400.

RB> And All the SupraFaxModem 288i V.34 modems that I have had go though my
RB> hands in the last 12 months, have been tested on Dave Drummond's USR and
RB> never failed to connect at 288800 solidly.

RB> Is Rods Supra a VFC only or a Supra Express.

It's a V32bis modem, I don't know the model number.

PE>> 6. A Spirit Thunder is getting connects with me at 2400 bps 
PE>> far more often than 19200.  1200 bps connects too.

DD> You user has modem illiteracy ptoblems.  He is setting Telix to swap 
DD> baudrates.

RB> If the users are using  a telix older that 3.22, It does not have error 
RB> levels
RB> for anything over 14400 (I think) and will report a 24000 connect as 2400 
RB> and
RB> a 31200 connect as a 1200 connect. In these cases DON'T BLAME USR. 

I was using the results of my binkley.log to determine that.
The user is probably using 3.15, and he is running a locked
com port.  The user in fact does not even see the connect
baud rate, he has to tell from the CPS rates what he connected
at.  It's irrelevant, I use my binkley.log to determine the
baud rate.

PE>> 7. USR to USR connect failed due to a retrain failure.  
PE>> Also, USR to USR is showing 21600/2400 as the connect rate.

RB> Probably Telix again or some pre 28800 program.

RB> What about the error levels in your BBS/Bink softwaare

1200, 2400, 19200.  BFN.  Paul.
