Hiya - Quick question: Is it possible to change the speed of the pulse dialing on Telebit T2500's? I haven't counted, but it seems like it's about 15 pps, I'd like to move it up to 20 pps if possible. - jiro nakamura jiro@shaman.com -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com Shaman Consulting (607) 253-0687 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"

There the manual says "The S11 register does NOT affect pulse dialing which IS FIXED at 100 milliseconds per pulse." No, you can't change it. -- -- Charles "Chip" Yamasaki chip@oshcomm.osha.gov

See the &Pn command and S11 registers for more info. You can alter the Make/Break ratio, but the overall timing remains approx 10 pulses per second. > jiro@shaman.com -- .------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Greg Andrews | UUCP: {apple,amdahl,claris}!netcom!gandrews | | | Internet: gandrews@netcom.COM | `------------------------------------------------------------------------'

There the manual says "The S11 register does NOT > affect pulse dialing which IS FIXED at 100 milliseconds per pulse." True enough, but my manual says, on pp 4-23 and 5-30: The &P command is used to select the make/break ratio used when pulse dialing. &P0 - 39% Make/61% Break ratio. US timing. &P1 - 33% Make/67% Break ratio. UK timing. But maybe that isn't what you want.... --Dave -- Dave McLane <davidg%aegis.or.jp@kyoto-u.ac.jp>

Telephone switch systems are also "fixed" at 10 pps, so changing it would most likely cause errors (8-12 pps would probably work, out of that range and the switch will think it isn't dial pulse anymore).

Actually, some exchanges will accept pulses at a 20 pps rate. The internal modem in the Radio Shack Model 100 laptop had an option to dial at 20 pps. cjs -- Curt Sampson | "[Atari's Race Drivin'] is more fun as a perverse curt@cynic.uucp | sort of flight simulator than a driving game." curt@cynic.wimsey.bc.ca | --Kevin Nomura (chow@netcom.com)

Ummm, hold on. Maybe they are fixed where you are but in Japan we have *both* kinds: 10 pps and 20 pps. For me, the solution was to the spend the extra money and get a tone line set S11=50 (the minumum) and fire off the numbers to the telco instead of having to wait, breathlessly, for the pps to click, click ... click out. --Dave -- Dave McLane <davidg%aegis.or.jp@kyoto-u.ac.jp>

In reality, telephone systems are extremely tolerent of the pulse
timings. On a Hayes compatible that I had the "pleasure" of being a
designer on, I expirimented with varying the times. It was quite
reliable from about 2pps to around 100pps. Of course, your line may
vary.

Yeah; I doubt that a Strowger could handle 100 pps, though I would suspect that the electronic exchanges (and electronically controlled crossbars) would. -- Geoffrey Welsh - Operator, Izot's Swamp BBS (FidoNet 1:221/171) root@zswamp.uucp or ..uunet!watmath!xenitec!zswamp!root 602-66 Mooregate Crescent, Kitchener, ON, N2M 5E6 Canada (519)741-9553 "He who claims to know everything can't possibly know much" -me
