I would normally expect a "sane" modem to act as you described. But this TrendNet TFM-561U appears to be tying the telco line speed to be the same as the system serial port speed. > The NIST ACTS supported range is 1,200-9,600. . . . I have tried connecting manually (via the "cu" command), and if I use any local serial port speed other than 1200 bps, I am completly unable to connect to the NIST ACTS -- the modem noise cycles through several different tones, apparently trying to negotiate a mutually acceptable speed, but eventually it times out and hangs up. I tried both init strings you quoted from the Amazon review, but no luck unless I used a local speed of 1200 (cu -l /dev/acts0 -s 1200). As for "the modem connects to my ISP just fine but was really slow" -- remember, I'm not trying to use this TrendNet modem to connect to an ISP -- I'm only trying to use it to connect to the NIST ACTS.
