BL> I had ***BOTH*** my port and Modem set at 2400. How else do you
BL> want me to do it? 

PE> The other way to do it is to keep the port speed at 19200 or
PE> whatever you normally use, and send a string to your modem to
PE> force the connect rate to 2400. 

BL> &N2 does that and I put it in the default init. And then I set the
BL> PORT to 2400 too.

You asked me how else to do it, and I have answered the question.

BL> Get it in your head, Paul: there is nothing wrong at *my* end.
BL> We are trying to solve a problem at *YOUR* end.

PE> This is news to me? I've just had a thought, maybe I can set
PE> the port speed to 38400 instead of 57600 to fix it.

BL> God knows why...

Well, the software knows the port speed is 38400 instead of 57600, so the
calculations MAY change.

PE> Then there's you, who's too cantankerous to stick with a test.

BL> I'm happy to do whatever you ask, as long as you don't try to fix
BL> faults in my Sportster that don't exist.

BL> You asked me to use 2400 *with* EC and I did... so you tell me I
BL> DIDN'T and then accuse me of being cantankerpous. It's your dopey
BL> fucking modem not able to recognise my MNP request! It works okay
BL> with the PCUG.

One test is not conclusive.  If you had tried it 10 times, and all were
failures, then I'd say we have a consistent problem with V42 connects at
low speeds (where low speed hasn't even been determined yet).

BL> But if you want me to try some other dopey idea I'll do it. I'll
BL> even tolerate you telling me I'm doing it wrong. But...

BL> Get it in your head, Paul: there is nothing wrong at *my* end.
BL> We are trying to solve a problem at *YOUR* end.

So?  When have I suggested otherwise?  And BTW, I'm not trying to solve the
failure to connect with EC x% of the time, I'm just after the timeouts to
be solved at this stage.  BFN.  Paul.
