I have a FidoNet number (1:250/716) and I poll various FidoNet systems to exchange packets. That much is normal. The problem is that I can't send packets to sites that are using the 14.4k HST modem. On the other end, the problem manifests itself as repeated CRC errors and my end keeps getting NAKed until it times out and hangs up in disgust. The problem is even worse now because my hub has been changed so that I must poll a system that has one of these modems and if the problem isn't fixed then I'll have to get a new modem, change my FidoNet number or leave the FidoNet altogether. I've spoken to a number of sysops and they all feel that it's modem incompatibility but nobody knows exactly what it is. The strange thing is that I can dial these BBSs interactively and xModem tons of stuff with no problems. If anyone can send me an explanation of what the problem is, and even how to fix it, I would be very grateful. And I have another problem with SEAdog 4.50. The problem is that there is a site that uses it from which I can't receive any mail packets that are waiting for my system for most of the day. I'm told that that version of SEAdog has a bug that precludes the pickup of mail during a crash-mail event. If anyone can send an explanation or solution to that, it would be a great service.
