I just received my "New" modem on the Sysop Swap Deal and I'm having a "little" Problem with it. I set it to &F2 and used an ATA to answer. When it answers it gives a "funny" tone (not CNG or V34) and then goes to a V32bis tone and connects at 14.4k... This happened using Bink, Qmodem and Commo. So I tried it on another System Got the Same thing. These Connects are with Supra 33.6K ext, Supra express PnP 33.6k and a USR 33.6K. So I tried calling out the funny thing is a Got 31.2 & 33.6K connects.. Next thing I tried was to go from 1440-14 Flash to 1440-18 Flash did not help.. +MS? reports v34,1,300 33.6. Is there a Command I'm missing? I put the "Old" SupraFax 288i back in the system and have no problems getting V34 connect... Next I looked at the "Old Modems" S values VS the New Modems they look the same? Also there was no Packing Slip or an address to ship my old (or maybe the New) Modem back to. ...All hope abandon, ye who enter messages here.

If you want a good site to do a test on, go to ftp.cdrom.com and download something... see what type of CPS rate you get. You should be able to get around 3000 cps. I believe that site has multiple T3's. I was using one ISP that had a 56k line, and a pool of 10 modems. If you get 10 28.8 modems trying to use a 56k line, you'll only get about 1000 cps when downloading files. Even LESS if they're all downloading, around 500cps!!! It seems that people's primary concern is how much they're paying for internet access, not level of access they're getting. If one person is charging $20/month access, and another $30... guess who 95% of the people are going to subscribe to? I was looking through some RFC's, and there are port addresses where you can open up a telnet session to and all they do is stream information to you. I think it's primary function is to judge the type of connection you can get with a server. I'm not aware of any "utilities" that do that, but there's likely something that can calculate the cps rate. Also, if you're using windows 95, and 32 bit com programs you can monitor your modem throughput with the system monitor in Accessories/System Utilities. It's not readily apparent how to do this though. What you need to do is open up a connection using the modem and then fire up the system monitor. Go to the edit/add item and you should see an item with the same name as what Windows called your modem. Add the receive CPS rate and the send CPS rate. Using the line chart, and setting the interval to something like 3 seconds you can see what the maximum cps and stuff is. Can be handy info! ...
