JM>Thanks, JM> John John, If you are going to be running DOS communications applications under Win95, you would need to run the ESP in UART mode. Part of the installation of the Win95 driver is that it disables the UART and, hence, DOS availability. This has to be done in order for the card to fully operate in its enhanced mode. We do not currently offer the ESP cards via the Sysop program, but we do occasionally run specials on the ESP card, depending on availability. You might want to keep an eye on our web page (www.hayes.com).

Are you seeing the above behavior every time someone drops carrier? What modem init string are you using? Be sure that you are setting &D2 or &D3. If you are using &D2, you might try &D3. Also, what you are seeing could be due to the modem trying to send buffered data after the caller drops. Try setting S38=0 to set the hang up time out to 0.

I'd like to pose this question to the Support Team at Hayes for some of my clients who have low baud modems as well as the users on one of our local BBS. Back in March of 96, our local BBS system installed a set of 3 Hayes Optima V.34 Modems. The modems worked flawlessly until June when the low baud users as well as high speed users lacking error correction began to notice a significant rise in the failure rate of Zmodem and other transfers. Personally I use a Best Data 2400 Internal, on an Epson 8088, and I noticed BPS rates dropping from 238 to 220-200, and in some cases a 10K file took 45 minutes to DL! Xmodem and Y modem transfers faired equally, with failed Y-modem transfers being a daily occurance. Line noise doesn't seem to be an issue mainly because there was no corresponding degradation of BBS operation or menu display (Eg. Extra characters, Etc.) immediately prior to or after the transfers. The lines are business quality and actively monitored by Bell South. High speed users with Error correcting modems from 14.4 and up are NOT experiencing this problem at all. Question, how does the Error Correction routines in the Optima modems effect the data stream? Is it forced off on low speed connects, or are the low speed modems at the mercy of the error correction when trying to tranfer files? Could Compression routines like MNP5 be responsible for this, and if so what solutions are possible beside turning off the MNP5 or telling the Low speed users to replace their modems? Thanks for the time! Christopher Tarana ...
