[tor.general] Anyone using Rixon R212A modem?

ian@utcsstat.UUCP (Ian F. Darwin) (05/28/84)

Any experience with this beast? I got one for dirt cheap at
a flea market, and it's in working order.  No manual, of course.
I can dial out with it, and everything works. Except it times
out on certain calls; reports NO CARRIER scant seconds
before the remote answers. It's in Hayes-compat mode, so I
tried ATS7=60 to set the timeout delay to 60 seconds; no go
(it seems to ignore setting registers above about 5). Any guesses?

Thanks muchly.

P.S. the flea market is the Computer Clearance Centre,
Yonge St below Finch. Great bargoons if you know what
you're looking for. Only open Thurs, Fri, Sat.

Anyone thinking of going to the Computer Clearance Center
to get a cheap Rixon 1200 baud modem can forget it.
I made the long trek up there today and was told that
they want $500 without the user's manual.
Ian's price appears to be non-reproducible.
