Hello there Rod ....



PE>> David Drummond saw the Supra problem.



RL>> And I'll say again. The supra that I used to D.D.s USR never

RL>> failed to connect at top speed at any stage. Supra 288i.



 RS> That doesnt actually prove a damned thing. Clearly it would

 RS> negotiate a V34 or VFC session. The problem is with V32bis

 RS> sessions, and the weird way that a Courier attempts to see if

 RS> V32terbo is possible. It aint ever gunna even contemplate V32terbo

 RS> when its called by a V34 or VFC capable modem.



OK, then my v32bis Avtek also connected without fault (and still

does). Wouldn't this come down to a problem with the Supra, if it is the

only v32bis modem to have this problem??



 RS> We KNOW that V32terbo is a monster kludge, particularly on

 RS> capability negotiation with V32bis modems that know nothing about

 RS> V32terbo, thats part of why V34 took so long to formalise, it was



a la my Avtek..



 RS> attempting bulletproof robust capability detection with the vast

 RS> number of modems in the field that knew nothing about the later

 RS> protocols. It achieved that, if you disable V32terbo in a Courier,

 RS> the problem is completely eliminated. {at}EOT:



In respect to your Supra...The problem doesn't manifest itself with

mine.
