[comp.dcom.modems] AT&T 4024C modem

samperi@mancol.UUCP (Dominick Samperi) (03/30/88)

We recently purchased an AT&T 4024C 2400 baud modem for use with our
3b2/300 computer. We chose this modem because the Hayes modem that we
were using previously could not be used for both dialouts and dialins
(without some hardware changes). After a week of use, it appears that
the 4024C works fine, but it does not completely solve the dialin/dialout
problem. In particular, it can call a Hayes (compatible) modem without
difficulty, but when it is called by a Hayes modem, it sends a signal
that the Hayes modem does not recognize as a carrier. Typically, the
caller (using a Hayes modem) must make 2-3 attempts before the Hayes
modem recognizes the 4024's carrier signal, and sometimes the caller
must make as many as 9 attempts (phone calls, that is). Any help with
this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
