[comp.dcom.modems] Connecting v.32 between different vendors

WILLIAMS@GAMMA.IS.TCU.EDU (12/07/90)

I have a new USR HST 14.4 Dual Standard and through extensive BBS calling
have a couple of suggestions.

Calling TB2500's:   set &M0 otherwise line noise will cause one end to drop.
Calling non/REL 2400's:   Set &M0 otherwise line noise will cause one end...

Basically, any non-USR v.32 modem should be called at &M0 or there is a
pretty good chance the connection will be lost.

I found out the hard way...

That's not my experience.  I've had no trouble with USR Dual Standard,
AT&T Paradyne DL424 and DM424, and IBM 7855-10 modems establishing and
holding V.32 connections with MNP5.  Most of my calls are local,
however.  I use &M4 or &M5 when calling MNP modems with the USR.
