Hi people, 
 
I'm back with a minor problem with my new replacement Dynalink 28800 
rockwel based fax/modem (gave the v34+ sportster clone away as a bad 
joke, dynalink were happy to replace it no questions asked). 
 
My problem is this, henever I attempt to connect with my ISP I usually 
end up with a non-error correcting connection. With a bit a luck and 
persistance I can usually manage a standard error correcting connect 
after 5-8 attempts (phone bill is getting out of control :( ) 
 
My setup is AT&F&C1&D2X3W2%E2&W with just ATZ as my init. string 
 
After some experimenting I found I could get a consistent connect using 
S48=128.  When connecting I get the following result codes 
CONNECT 28800/ARQ 
PROTOCOL: ALT 
COMPRESSION: V42BIS 
 
According to the manual this suggests that I have MNP error correction 
ith V42bis compression. However I thought that MNP correction only 
worked with MNP5 compression and LAPM correction worked with V42bis. 
Maybe I'm missing something but the manual states "protocol:alt means 
an MNP connection has been made". 
 
Either way it does work when everything else has failed but I must admit 
that ftp transfers are slow as treacle. Text transfers (newsgroups and 
email) are excellent but ftp on compressed files are very slow eg 
400-500 cps. 
 
Can anyone shed any light on this and also any suggestions for a good 
init string. 
 
Cheers 
Mike
