[comp.dcom.modems] Trailblazer, Misc.

I've been installing Telebit support into 'cu' clone source this week and
ran across trouble that seems to exist in the two T-bits I've been working
with.  Both are brand-new with 4.0 ROMs.  Trouble #1: the S7 register, on
outdial, times out way faster than the value I've given it.  For instance,
S7=60 times out closer to half that value.  To log in to the other
Trailblazer using PEP and with the answer modem set to S92=1, I have to set
the calling modem to as high as S7=254 to have a good chance of staying on
line long enough to lock with the trailing-end PEP answer tones.  Anyone
run across this??  There's always a chance that the problem's somewhere in
my code... just need to check.

Trouble #2: logging in at PEP with 9600 baud (under Xenix) produces a REAL
spasmodic display... more than I would assume with packetization.  Anyone
got any advice I might have missed to smooth the display a bit?
