subject: Hayes Accura vs Avtek Flashmodem

GT>    I used to have trouble with drop outs on a particular BBS (Not this

 GT> one ), which I could "kind of" solve by extending the
ats10 string to

 GT> a value of 50 (5secs).  I bought a Hayes Accura Message Modem and :

 GT>    1. The Telix software comes up with an ERROR if I try to change

 GT> ATS10.

 GT>    2. I don't have the problem anymore !



 GT>    I was using an Avtek Flashmodem 28.8 previously, and it seems ok on

 GT> all but this 1 BBS ( which is running 2 x Maestros )



If these Maestros are the first release VFC modems , then that is

understandable, they are trouble to a lot of people.



 GT>    I wonder if anyone out there can explain to me why the difference ?



 GT> Is the Hayes THAT much better ?



 GT>    Thanks,

 GT>             MotiV8or !

                 Hmm, IGOR mean anything to you.



 GT> p.s. it goes to show , not all the stuff you find at Cash Convertors

 GT> is CRAP !   I got the Hayes Fax/ Data / Voice 28.8 for $250, as new,

 GT> in box !



So, Some burglar took it to cash converters and made a clean $250

profit then...
