- I am having a problem installing 2 supra v32 modems to the backpanel of a
- Sequent S81 running Dynix/PTX 1.3 As far as I can tell I have everything
- configured correctly but I must have missed something. Anyway the problem
- is this: The modems will auto answer fine and at the correct speeds but all
- the caller will get is lots of garbage. This isnt that unusual I guess
- because calling into the HST's (1200 yuk) does the same thing but the garbage
- goes away after a few returns. This isnt the case with the Supras. Unfortuanatly
- Supra has been VERY unhelpful and blamed everything on someone else (namely
- Sequent) and I have gotten almost the same response from sequent because "its
- not a modem we support". This is all fine and great but I would like to get
- these working has anyone installed any Supra v32 modems and had similar
- problems and then been able to fix them? I have been bouncing around for
- 3 months now between Supra and Sequent so I hope someone out there can help me.
-
- Oh and still on modems, does anyone have an idea why an HST 1200 modem refuses
- to realize it has no carrier and hang up? We have had problems with the HST's
- not hanging up if a call in user does something like crash his machine or if
- someone calls voice it usually hangs (this is a "supported" modem by Sequent
- but they have no idea).
-
- Please E-Mail replys I will post a summery.

- Thanks,
