Hi, I am having some problems getting Prodigy to work with my Macintosh and Telebit trailblazer. I have called the tech support line, to no avail...The only response I get is "We are working on a fix, we are waiting on approval of a fix to this". It seems that whatever the program sends out for dialing and setup codes is playing havoc with my modem, the trailblazer doesn't recognize some of the things Prodigy is trying to do to it. Does anyone else out there with a Telebit Trailblazer know what to do (ie, what files to modify to get it to work?) Thanks in advance, - Alan

I am using a Telebit T1000 on an AT-clone with Prodigy and I have no problems.
I don't know if the Trailblazer has the feature that the T-1000 has: standard
and extended command mode. Extended command mode is 1:1 for a Trailblazer+, but
Standard mode looks like a Hayes V-series modem. If the TB+ does not support
the Hayes V-Series comand set you may be Hosed. I'd check your manual to see
if it can be thrown into a Hayes V mode, else yell at Telebit and tell them
to make a firmware change to support V-series sequences like the T-1000. Who
knows, they may have a rev out for this......

Hi, Well, after many hours on the phone with the Prodigy tech support people, and alot of tinkering around of my own, this is the fix I have been able to come up with. 1. Set the following registers: S50=3 S51=2 S52=1 S53=1 S58=0 S66=0 S68=0 2. In the file modems.txt, add a line that looks like this: 965,000,,2400,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,X1,,,,,,,,,S53=1,S52=1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NO DIAL TONE,,,,,,,,,,, (This all has to be on one line (ie, no carriage return) and yes, you do need every single one of those commas :-) Thanks for all the help! And for alll of you people out there with Macs, call 1-800-822-6922 ext. 650 to get one free month of Prodigy. They will send you all the information (including two free disks which can be used as blanks if you don't like the service). - Alan -----insert standard disclaimer here-----
