I was at a client site and tried to dial in to my home machine. No luck. The client has a USR Sportster 2400 PC, and the home machine is a TB+ set to answer with PEP tones first. The Sportster barfs (read: NO CARRIER) at the first hint of those PEP tones. Is this normal? Do I have to change the order of answers for this fershligginer modem? -- Kevin O'Gorman ( kevin@kosman.UUCP, kevin%kosman.uucp@nrc.com ) voice: 805-984-8042 Vital Computer Systems, 5115 Beachcomber, Oxnard, CA 93035 Non-Disclaimer: my boss is me, and he stands behind everything I say.

Yes, for smart modems that have "enhanced" call progress reporting. > Do I have to change the order of answers for this fershligginer modem? Yes, unless the modem has some way to disable any but the usual ring/answer detection. Perhaps the better idea is to convince the client that they'ed be happier with a T1000 PC or TB+ PC modem. 8-) -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

This may delay the modem's interpretation of the PEP tones long enough to get a connect. This kludge has worked on any number of picky brands. USR users (as well as some others) learn quickly to disable VOICE recognition, as their modems fail to distinguish between the Telebit's electronic PEP tones and the human voice. As an aside, Setting S10 to 30 or so (3 seconds) on both ends can be an effective way of disabling call-waiting. --- "These are the days of lasers in the jungle..."

Another is to change the result code setting of the US robotics modem from the higher level (where it thinks that the pep tones are a voice) to something dumber, like x1, which works for me. derek -- Derek Terveer det@hawkmoon.MN.ORG
