-=[ Quoting Chris Smith to August Abolins ]=-
 CS>   I noticed something odd about the new 1.440-18.  Several times,
 CS> the modem has initiated retrains, even with the %E and %G both set
 CS> to "0" to disable retrains.  (One BBS it did this on is also using
 CS> the Supra 28.8 external with the 1.440-18; the other using a USR
 CS> v.34)
 AA> I was told by Supratech@supra.com that a retrain and renegotiate will 
always
 AA> occur if the REMOTE modem requests it irregardless of local modem's
 AA> settings.  This applies to v34bis modem and up.
 CS> Which is which, though?  I always assumed the "local" as you referred
 CS> to it, was the BBS, and the "remote" was the modem calling it...
The remote is the one at the other end of the line in this case.  It doesn't
matter if it's the host or the terminal.
