- I just bought a PC Logic 14,4 fax/modem v.32bis v.42bis to replace
- a GVC 96/24 fax/modem, but I'm having a number of problems:
-
- 1. Only able to comment to 9600 dial in lines, the 2400 lines I was
- was using with the GVC time-out or have no carrier detected.
-
- 2. The 9600 connection takes about 50% longer than the 2400 used to.
-
- 3. Transfers fail after about 10K. Using Y-modem batch
-
- 4. Transfers that succeed (< 10K) are not that much faster than the
- 2400 was. 300cps compared to 200cps.
-
- 5. Character set suddenly becomes partially corrupted. It is as if
- about half the alphabet has been permuted. I can still recognize
- prompts because they are the same length, and about half the
- characters are correct.
-
- None of this ever happended with the GVC on the 2400 lines. Of course
- I can't test the new modem on the old lines because it won't connect.
- Other than changing the comm software modem speed and the phone number
- everything else was the same.
-
- Any ideas?
