That's because HST protocol is different from v.32; you don't mention using a Dual Standard, but only an HST, which suggests that you're making an HST or possibly plain ol' 2400-baud connection. Neither HST nor the Bell modulation scheme used for 2400 baud has a "connection termination" handshake, while v.32 does. (I could be wrong; HST<->HST connections *might* have such a handshake. I'm not fortunate enough to own a fast modem.) A plain ol' Courier HST cannot speak v.32, so you're bound to get noise at the end of a connection that is terminated by the other side. V.32 modems on v.32 connections should not exhibit this behavior. -- ... Michael Ho, University of Nebraska Internet: <on vacation> | Harry was too homely for Sally. (I have proof.)
