this might seem trivial to some, but ive tried everything and spent 6 months in "slow motion" .... ZZZZZZZ.... i have a hayes 2400 smartmodem, am connecting to 2400 baud lines when i dial in, but CANT get anything but : CONNECT 1200. im using a simple vt240 and have tried every permutation on its settings but to no avail. is there some way to tell my hayes to use 2400 so that the little red light under HS (high speed) comes on and my eyes dont fall asleep with the 1200 ? -greg cumber cumber@leland.stanford.edu ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ..........

Are you sure that your VT-240 is sending the dial command at 2400 bps? As soon as a Hayes Smartmodem 2400 gets an "AT" command at 2400 bps, the HS light comes on. If the command is issued at a lower speed, the HS indicator switches off. -- 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

Do you have your terminal set to 2400? A Smartmodem 2400 sets the maximum speed at which it will connect based on the speed at the you are issuing "AT" commands. Is the "HS" light on when you issue commands? I mean, is it on, and then goes off when you get the CONNECT 1200? If so, this indicates that the modem on the other end really only supports 1200. But if the HS light is NEVER on, this means you aren't issuing commands to the modem at 2400, so it will not connect at 2400. -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-840-9200 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.
