I access the United States through a satellite net which terminates in Santa
Clara California. From there I dialout to the world through a Ven-Tel 212
Plus -II modem Version 2.20.............
Most of the time it works very well, but whenever I or anyone else attempt to
download xmodemed files (or any error checking program) from ANY system the
modem hangs up. The time varies from day-to-day, but it always seems to hang up
It is a 1200 baud modem. One time I tried fooling it by logging in at 300 baud
and trying the upload. It worked 1 time - then the machine got smart the next .
My me and huing up again!
I don't have the books on the modem, so I need to know how to re-program to
This is very mdem's registers to disable the timeout....
Dores anyone have any knowledge of these machines?
There is one other possibility . .. the Tymnet engine that we use could be do
in it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Talk to Tymnet and they can set up the port to pass all 8 bit characters transparently. ......................................................................
