I just bought a Pro* 2400 internal modem. It dials the number of the mainframe(I can hear the dial tone) fine but after that nothing happens. The software I am using is Procomm. The manual for the modem is so confusing that I can hardly know what is going on. I hope that somebody can point out what the possible reasons are. Thanks in advance! Ying Xie ying@hubcap.clemson.edu

I have no idea why this has been posted to unix-pc.general -- if you're using Procomm on an internal modem that is surely on some kind of PC/AT??? However, to answer the question: the first thing to find out is whether your phone is pulse instead of tone. I don't have Procomm in front of me, but one of the screens -- I think Modem Settings -- has a setting for the dial prefix. It should be ATDT. Try changing it to ATDP and see if this works. -- Jim Rosenberg CIS: 71515,124 decvax!idis! \ WELL: jer allegra! ---- pitt!amanue!jr BIX: jrosenberg uunet!cmcl2!cadre! /

Can anybody send me a mail about the information of which good modems are? I am new here and don't know modems here at all. Thanks. Sen : senhu@epsl.umd.edu

I have a stupid question sent here. I don't know modem at all. I bought a pc recently and I need a modem for connecting to my campus. I used a 2400 baud rate modem now, it's too slow for file transfer. I saw the ads about modems, there are some ones with 9600 baud rate, v.42, mnp5. They are very cheap, like less than $200. My campus just supports v.32, mnp5. Can I use this cheap one to connect to there and transfer files? Because I don't know what is v.32, v.42 and mnp, I need your help. Thank you very much for reply.

Sen,
I have seen postings that refer to V.32 modems in
the $200-$400 range. These modems seem to be questionable
for reasons ranging from availability to performance. Most
V.42/V.42bis enhanced V.32 modems are over $300. V.42 modems
may also be V.22bis (2400) modems with V.42bis compression
which means that you will only achieve 2400 bps on non-compressable
files.
I have detailed information and products from TELEBIT
modems. If you would like more information, please e-mail
me direct or call me. The info is in my signature.
Thank you.
