I was wondering if anyone had any success comfiguring an MNP5 modem with
Proterm. I just got a ViVa 2400m modem (which works great by the way) and am
trying to configure it properly with Proterm 2.01. The manual said to set the
software to 9600 to handle the MNP5 bursts of up to 9300, so I did, but I
don't really know which modem to emulate. The Hayes Smartmodem 2400 works,
but I don't think I can select a speed higher than 2400, and when I try using
the US robotics HST or whatever, I can't seem to get a connection. If anyone
knows how to properly configure this thing, and/or what sort of AT commands
to initialize the modem with, please drop me a note or post here. Any help
at all would be appreciated.

I've been using a MNP 5 modem with it, and I've more trouble than you can ever imagine. About the only way make things work is to use the Null Modem selection and a blank Init String. This, of course, means you can't have ProTerm dial and you'll have to ATDT yourself. Also, when launching ProTerm with a Null Modem, it will ask you to set system settings, so select a baud rate greater than 2400 (9600 is nice) for the MNP 5 to work. >---------------------------------------------------------------| >\ Jim (of course) Evans JRE103@psuvm.psu.edu \ > | Delta Chi | >/ "Darn right I like my Apple IIGS!" / >---------------------------------------------------------------| > \ Quack!

Is this possible, or does the software have to be capable of auto-magic baud rate selection on the fly?

My disclaimer: I've not used an MNP5 modem--- yet. It seems to me, from what I've read, that all MNP5 modems must not be the same. Don't some of these things support a *fixed* baud rate setting on the terminal side... sure sometimes the characters coming in will be slower or faster, but the connection is always, say 9600 or 4800 (whatever you've set).

I think it >would be of interest to many here. I have a PP9600SA, and have had experience trying to use an MNP5 modem with PT. The problem is that PT will only autobaud at the connect speed. So using PT you can run MNP4, but forget it for MNP5. And the only way that I could get my 9600 baud modem to work at 9600 baud was to get a local sysop to write a driver for it. It works well enough, and a straight 9600 baud connection is still much better than 2400 baud. Rich -Rich-@cup.portal.com
