For example, suppose that the modem defaults to software handshaking (not a good thing on binary connections). Then, one side sends a Ctrl-S -- effectively telling the other modem to stop sending until the first side tells it to. Voila! The transfer is halted "for all time". You might want to make sure that your modem is set up for hardware handshaking, or barring that, set up for *no* handshaking (with the baud rate set *much* lower, so that the buffers never overflow). Don't count on an ATZ setting the modem to a known "high-speed" rate, *verify* that the modem is set up correctly. For example, I've had problems with my Rockwell-based V.90 modem connecting to a 3com-based V.90 modem -- it hardly ever connects. So, I reset the modem to factory defaults with AT&F, turned off V.90 (and 56Kflex), and wrote the defaults to my "alternate" modem setting with AT&W1. Now, all my machine has to do is ATZ1, and it is set up with the "high-speed" (33.6K) configuration. I've left the "main" modem settings set to the default factory configuration (which I explicitly set with AT&F and AT&W0 commands), so I can quickly switch back and forth simply by specifying ATZ and ATZ1. -- // Glenn L.
