Hi, Paul.

PE> PE> FM> *E9 *F3 *G1 *M2 *N8 *P0 *Q0 *S1 *T1 *W0

PE> PE> *N8 is fine.
PE> PE> *Q0 is switch off retrains, which is what I want to see tested.
PE> PE> However, if you have problems, then you may need to go to *Q1.

PE> FM> Which does what? Remember I don't have easy access to the manual, it's
PE> 2
PE> FM> flights of stairs away. Enables retrains, presumably.

PE> That is correct.

Yes, I now have the manual down here.

[...]

PE> PE> Forget that, I've just checked my log, and your call THIS
PE> PE> MORNING connected at V32ter, ie 19200.  AND it didn't drop
PE> PE> out.  Can you tell me what you changed, if anything, and
PE> PE> also whether you had meddled with the *Q0.

PE> FM> Changed nothing. I did a at*o which I posted to you, then at*n8, then
PE> FM> another at*o (also posted). Then I realised it was already *n8. I've
PE> FM> just checked again and it still is. I didn't touch *q at all. Is there

PE> Ok, so we've got a quirky problem.  You got 19200 on your second
PE> call today (Wednesday).

And all subsequent back to 2400.

PE> FM> something I can put in the Telix script so that I can see the CONNECT
PE> FM> message, and/or other useful stuff? Hmmm, you don't use Telix do you.

PE> I am reasonably familiar with Telix, being an ex-avid-user.  In
PE> fact, Telix is one of the VERY FEW programs that has impressed

Probably because the script language seems to be very C-like. :-)

PE> me in the past.  Anyway, from memory, "auto baud rate detect"
PE> used to stop it messing with the connect message.  Switching it
PE> off I mean.

It was off. Now I've turned it on, let's see what happens.

PE> FM> Anyway, I'm sending you this single message in case it helps resolve
PE> FM> things. I'll call again before work in the morning - anywhere between
PE> FM> 6:30 and 8.

PE> Ok, here's the TR authorized settings for the time after that.
PE> BFN.  Paul.

Thanks.

PE> MODEM PROFILE SUGGESTIONS

PE> There are a few modem configuration changes that can improve the default
PE> configuration. I suggest the following for a user rather than a sysop:

PE>  *G0, *M2, *Q0, &B2, and &D2.

PE> Here's my profile for a sysop running a BBS:

PE>  MODEL:SPIRIT II
PE>  DTE:  38400  N81
PE>  DCE:  IDLE

PE>  E0  K1  M0  Q0  V1  X4 TONE
PE>  &B2 &C1 &D3 &R0 &T5
PE>  *E9 *F3 *G0 *M2 *N6 *P0 *Q0 *S1 *T1

PE>  S00=000  S04=010  S08=002  S15=255
PE>  S01=000  S05=008  S09=006  S18=000
PE>  S02=255  S06=002  S10=003  S25=000
PE>  S03=013  S07=060  S12=050  S26=000
PE>  OK

OK, changed all those except I left E1 (so I can see what I'm typing)
and *N8 - his codes were for the Spirit II.

Regards, FIM.
