Greetings,
I have seen and used the network to discuss computing problems
and have had much success; I realize there is a wealth of consulting
know-how out there, more than I could ever afford to pay for, and
I have tried to solve this problem myself, but the frustration factor
is getting to me. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly
appreciated. If at all possible, please respond via direct Email.
I am having problems enabling an MNP transfer using my
PM2400SA MNP/Level 5 modem. I have tried everyting I can
think of to resolve the problem, and now feel I am either
misunderstanding the MNP facility or am missing some
important setup element.
I dial into the University's network which is also outfitted with MNP level 5 modems (Microcomm's AX2400C rack mount
model). Upon connection, I do get the "/REL" confirmation
message for a reliable link. However, the high speed
indicator light (orange) never lights during any file
transfer, using any protocol. I have even tried connecting
to an identical computer setup, using identical modems, but
the indicator never lit.
I frequently use Procomm's ASCII or Y-MODEM G BATCH modes for
downloading, to avoid error-checking slowdowns in software over
hardware.
Am I realizing the full potential of the modem? I get throughput
so maybe I shouldn't complain, but I got that before I "went MNP."
Enclosed are the current setting as reported with Procomm, as well as
the DataStorm Technologies script file which
aided in the setup. If I can provide any further
information, please do not hesitate to ask, and I thank you
for your time and consideration in this matter.
