-> Hi!
->
-> I'm still having problems connecting to my friends ARCHTEK SmartLink
-> 28.8 modem!
->
-> It just won't connect no matter what we do. In fact, he pulled the
-> modem off of his BBS and put back his old ZOOM 14.4 just so myself
-> and 2 or 3 other callers  could get on
-> without problems - however, my case seems to be the worse  issue here is that I am an "assistant" on his board, and I need to
-> be able to call in and I have a feeling he wants to put the 28.8
-> back on the BBS>.
->
-> I have a SupraFAXModem v.32bis 14.4 external. I didn't have this
-> problem with my old Zoltrix RPI 14.4 internal, most likely because
-> the zoltrix didn't have error correction "in the picture".
->
-> Anyway, I have tried a number of strings:
->
-> AT&F2  - Modems get to end of
-> handshake and his modem drops the carrier, while my Supra stays
-> offhook and reports "DIaling"
->
-> AT&F  - Modems connect, but I
-> cannot transfer files. Every few K the CPS rates drop and Qmodem says
-> "REPOSITIONING" and the file almost completely starts over.
->
-> AT&F M1 W2 X4 &C1 &D2 \N3 - Can connect but still have file transfer
-> problems.
->
-> Could anyone help? We spent over an hour trying to get these two
-> modems to work yesterday morning. The funny thing is that if he
-> calls me, everything works fine - its only when I call him that we
-> have trouble.
-> Under WILDCAT!, he had his port opened to 57600. I will have to check
-> and see what he had it open to under the Qmodem Host we were using to
-> test with.
->
-> Thank you!!!
->
-> -=SK=-
->
-> BTW, his modem is internal so I don't think it could be a UART
-> problem, and i am lead to believe my UART is ok too, because my
-> modem works with every other BBS I call.
->
You may want to have him try adding &N0 and &M4 to the init strings.  I had 
problems similar to this with my USR and that fixed it.  I think that the 
problem is on his end.
