I have a pair of Ven-Tel EC2400-33 modems which I am using for terminal (VT220) to host (VaxStation 2000) communications. These modems support MNP Level 5 protocols providing error correction and data compression. This would be wonderful except that after a variable (1 to 200 minutes) delay after establishing the connection, the originating modem goes beserk and sends random characters to the terminal continuously until I drop the connection. To their credit, Ven-Tel have spent much time and effort trying to solve the problem but without success. I have two questions:- 1) Is there anyone out there with two of these modems communicating in the "2400/REL" mode either having, or NOT having, this problem ? 2) Is there anyone else using other modems which support MNP level 5 who recognizes this problem ? I would VERY much like to hear from anyone in either category. David Stagg (STAGG@YALEMED.BITNET) Biomedical Computing Unit Yale University School of Medicine 203 785 4566
