LH>Hi there all,
LH>            Im Having a problem making this modem work, It is a 
LH>Netcom 28,8 Roadster, What happens is when i go to log on to any
LH>BBS i have try a multitude of times for the modem to actually
LH>connect, it Dials Fine and people have no problems connecting to
LH>me, its only when i try to connect with other people, I believe it
LH>may be in the Init Strings i am using, I dont know, The confusing
LH>part is when i use the Win 95 software to log on to the Internet it
LH>connects every time without fail, Never once has it not connected 

Try adding a carot  ^  between the D and T   ie: ATD^T  (assuming use 
use dial tone) in your dial string.
It turns off calling tones.
This will only work if the remote modem is answering but you never 
achieve a connect!

I have a E34F and have had problems connecting to V.34's made by 
Maestro...
If you listen to this particular fault, the modems get into this 
'warble-warble' (not the 'boing-boing') state and eventually give-up!

As for not getting 28.8, that means nothing. Depending on your line, 
noise, compression used by Telstra, you may only get 24k!
