Neither my microcomm 28.8 nor my viva 14.4 (19200) will work. They both answer the phone fine and establish a connection, but high-order garbage is still the order of the day. This is most frustrating. I have been in telecommunications in the DOS world for over ten years and I feel like a total moron. It just can't be THAT hard. I have gotten it to connect via an old 2400 bps viva at 2400. THAT was straightforward. However, I don't see using that modem on this machine. As for the hs modems, I am not sure HOW to lock them at 38400 or 19200. Anyone have an it string that will do this? The HS light does not light, and every time a connection is made, the modem apparently reverts to 9600bps, notwithstanding all configs and a stty -f /dev/ttyd0 38400 command. Furthermore, setting my term to 9600 does not make the garbage "go away." Though I thought it might be the result codes screwing me up, setting the X[n] register to 0 does not help. Any and all specific setup, init info and help here would be appreciated. I guess the question becomes then: what high speed modem should I purchase that WILL work, and where do I get it (if not an off-the shelf modem)? If time is money, I have already spent the money for the new modem... easily five time over. I might as well be done with it. shane ----- Shane G.
