[comp.dcom.modems] Mitsuba 2400 baud modems

stigall@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (john stigall) (03/28/91)

I'm having a problem with Mitsuba 2400 baud modems. It appears that the 
autobauding via the AT command is not real reliable, as some terminals
I have tried when set to 2400 baud will cause the HS (high speed) light
to go out and the modem will not establish connection at 2400. Identically
set up terminals will work consistently. The terminals I am using are DEC
VT-220 and VT240, set to VT100 mode, 8bit, no parity and 1 Stop bit. I
have tried 7-E-1 also. There are no phone numbers or addresses supplied 
with the Mitsuba modems, only the marking "made in Korea". Somebody said
if they don't work so well, maybe that's why they're so cheap. Geeezzz.

Mitsuba modems are known to have this problem.  It is not your terminals
at fault.  Some of their modems, just don't connect reliably.  When you
get one that does, they work great.  Suggest you send your modem in
for exchange.
