I've just upgraded to the new USRobotics 14400 V42bis HST modem. I'm having problems downloading and uploading using V42bis (38400 baud) compression. I have used most of the popular PD/Shareware Amiga terminals and they all choke at bauds higher than 19.2k. Much to my surprise, Zterm0.85 (under AMAXII) works flawlessly at 38400 baud acheiving over 1650cps (Zmodem). I would like to know what (Real Amiga) terminals are people using with their HST14400/V42bis (or Dual) modems. Raman

Well, I've see what you mean. I use JRComm, but I found if I wanted more than 2 colors I had to keep the serial port locked at 19.2. The best program I know of is AZComm,however make sure you have a version of serial.device that handles CTS/RTS flow control correctly and make sure the modem is set for a locked DTE rate with full hardware flow control. The init string for the modem should look something like this: AT&B1&H1&I0&R2B1 There is a small program called AmiModem that will set up your HST modem like this as well as setting some of the S-Registers for better dialing speed. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Dwight Hubbard, |-Kaneohe, Hawaii | | USENET: lron@easy.hiam or |-GT-Power: 029/004 (lron) | | uunet!easy!lron |-CFR : 31:910/101 (Dwight Hubbard) | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't see any reasons, why you should to use the 38400 bps speed, because it is so few situations, where it is useful. JR-Comm is truely lazy, and hard load to the Amiga. It have problems with 38400. Only terminal software that I have seen working 100% OK with 38400 is Azcomm V2.XX. There is support for 38400 bps. But this terminal is only met for transfering files with ZMODEM. There ain't working VT100 or ANSI-emulation. I use this, if I have to transfer files higher speed that 19200 or I have to do something else during the file transfering. It's a very 'light' SW. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Matti Joutkoski, mattij@yj.data.nokia.fi, tel. + 358-0-5673866. ---------------------------------------------------------------
