For my modem, it's an S register deal....I can "force" it to connect higher/lower by adjusting the S191 register. read the docs on your modem and if they _don't_ include a detailed description of what each S register does, then try e-mailing tech support or hit their web page. Oh, FYI, when I force the modem to connect higher, it slows down to a crawl on screen paints/refresh's (in DOS!), so I wouldn't recomend forcing a lower/higher setting. Besides, going lower than what's available is like driving a ferrari at 50 MPH :), and the modem will re-train to the next highest/safest setting in about 10 to 20 seconds, depending on your modem settings -=> Yours sincerely, Rick Payton <=- ___ Terminate 4.00/Pro X TerMail/QWK X Terminate IS the final terminal! --- Squish/386 v1.11 * Origin: -=The I.K.V.

The numbers you posted for the Fx command are for a Rockwell v.32bis chipset as far as I can remember my old Supra. Does your modem use the Rockwell or Cirrus Logic chipset? I seem to remember that both use S37 to set the DCE speed but the Rockwell chipset only goes to 14400 while the Cirrus Logic extends the register to allow for 33600 speeds. There are also the +MS commands to confuse matters. You might want to try the ATI0 to ATI25 commands and save the output -- this will allow us to see what chipset/software revision your modem is using.

AL> Umm.. no, I just started reading this area a couple of days ago. That's why I mentioned it. :-) "Forcing" the modem doesn't cause it to connect at a speed higher than it normally would. The idea of "forcing" is this: I have a large file to send. I don't want to accept a connection less than 28,800 (for example) because the transfer would take too long, so I'll tell the modem "if you can't connect at 28,800, don't connect, you'll be wasting my money". You'd normally do this sort of thing with "unattended" operation where the program will try later if it fails to connect the first time at the given speed. The modem determines the maximum speed it can connect at, depending on line conditions. None of the available commands will affect this, but they can be used to prevent an unwanted connection at a lower speed. Some modems also provide a "floor" command. You can then tell the modem "don't connect unless you can negotiate a speed between (floor) and (ceiling)". You could then configure the modem to accept between 14,000 and 28,800, for example. TTFN.

One thing that I have discovered ... when you own a Logicode internal 33.6 modem, there is no such thing as a "standard AT command set"! If as you say above, ATF1 turns on "line echo", you would think that there should be a way to turn it off, except for ATZ. As I mentioned earlier, ATF0 is an "ERROR". The only "F" command between "zero and twenty" that is not an ERROR is ATF1 ... but it can't be turned off :-)) Bye for now ...
