I have just made the unpleasant (to me) discovery that when Trailblazer
modems are in PEP mode they are very resistant to carrier drops.
Everyone else may think this is great, but its a problem for me.
I only have one phone line at home and it has call waiting on it. For
years I have taken advantage of the fact that when I am on line with a
modem and a call came in, the carrier would be broken long enough by
the call waiting signal that the modem would drop and I would get my
call.
It looks to me like the Trailblazer just fights through the noise and
tells me nothing about it. The S10 register which normally controls the
"carrier loss to disconnect time" is only effective in "slow mode" (ie
2400 baud or slower, no PEP).
Any suggestions?
