Has anyone succeeded in using a telebit or other V.32 class modem to >accept dialins from old 1200/2400 baud, MNP-4/5, and also V.32 modems? We have a fair amount of success with the USRobotics Courier HST modem. It took a little bit if internal modem configuration trial and error, but as of late everyone is happy. We dial both in and out at 1200, 2400 and to its matching partner at 9600 baud over normal lines. The only complaint that I have is when we are using kermit at 9600 the effective throughput is a dismal 1200 baud. Apprently it has somethig to do with the short packet length of a kermit packet and the modem trying to do data compression/error correction along with kermit. Tip and other plain ascii programs (xtalk on the PC) work great and its sometimes hard to relize that you are talking over a modem. -------------------------------------------------------------- Don Baune Internet: don@doug.med.utah.edu University of Utah Medical Imaging Research Lab AC-215 School of Medicine talk: (801) 581-6088 Salt Lake City, Utah 84132 FAX: (801) 581-2414 --------------------------------------------------------------
