MESSAGE TO WAMUG FOR ARCHIVES : SCRIPTS NOT ATTACHED HERE ! BOB
NEIL, Attached you will find a copy of Ross's scripts for troublesome modems. I don't know whether this will help. Forgotten what OS and Mac you are having trouble with. I have some other info also somewhere about disabling the Low Carry disconnect function. I might need to explain that bit to you. Effectively what it means is that your modem can sense if the Data Carrier signal goes low level, and then initiates a disconnect. Sometimes we can turn that function off by altering the modem script. Also there is another function that can effect the modem. When you start up, your compter speaks to the modem to set it up ready to connect and dial on the line. After the connection is made, the computer only requires the modem to onforward the info but the computer still needs to be able to initiate a disconnection The disconnection command is a group of 3 plus signs in a row. If i send that here it could initiate you to disconnect. There is a special guard circuit in the modem that is supposed to stop it recognising signals similar to the disconnect pluses. which might occur in your text messages The suspicion is that your modem is not guarding as good as it should. Welll that's the theory anyway, Meanwhile check this lot out and see how you make out.
