I'm having some trouble with a Packard Bell 2400 modem that has
just been put into dial-out service. It functions perfectly as a
dial-in modem, but seems to be very unreliable connecting to some
modem, while good with others.
I suspect it is the fact that it runs V.22 and when it dials a
modem that doesn't suport this, the PB has trouble negotiating a
connection. I can't see any command that turns V.22 off, but
someone told me to make the modem dumb by changing one of the
S-registers. I have been told that you determine the decimal
value to place into the register the following way:
0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 [the bit settings desired]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 [the bit position]
1 1
2 2 2 [bit 2 on]
3 4
4 8 8 [bit 4 on]
5 16
6 32 32 [bit 6 on]
7 64
8 128 128 [bit 8 on]
---
170 [Sn=170 decimal value]
Is this the way it is done?
