This item has also been linked from agora to helpers.
I guess it qualifies as a system announcement. I've stepped in to fill a tiny
bit of the vaccuum left by robh's departure from the conferences.

Actually, not really. It's a bit more complicated than that.

Good. Often, when I get a 2400 baud modem, connecting noise set sets
me up for an uppercase session. Today, I see, we are getting another
form of noise as all participants names are no longer unique ;-)

One of Grex's newer, harder to program modems is available on a test basis.
Try dialing 761-9671 if you want to try it out. Please note here what kind
of experience you had with it.

does it by any chance have the ability to garble text so that the characters
are all messed up?

Polls are now open to fill a vacancy on Grex's Board of
Directors. Type vote from a shell prompt or !vote from a bbs
or menu prompt for further information or to cast a ballot. The
polls will close midnight April 21, Eastern Daylight Time.

Are grex's "fast" modems capable of anything faster than 9600 baud?

We own 14.4 modems but they are configured to operate 9600 (or 2400)
because the capacity of grex to process data is limited. We can take to
the garage conference discusion about why and what can be done about it.

I remain commentless on the entire situation.. I'm glad I blanked out of
cfs while the debate was going on.

OK, the test modem really works this time!
Try dialing 761-9671, see how well it works for you. I'm using it right now,
and it is working great. If it tests out fine, we can have all error
correcting modems, and be ready to go all 14.4 when the terminal server is
ready. This is one of the newer GVC modems we bought a batch of last year
and weren't able to use for various reasons.

i tried it about an hour ago, and it connected me at 2400 bps instead of
9600. i used 761-5041 instead and had no problems.

It is supposed to be limited to 2400 baud. Grex's serial ports only support
9600 baud on a few lines. The tricky thing with modems is convincing modern
modems to only accept 2400 baud connections in a sensible and reliable way.
I'm on the modem Scott reprogramed now, and it seems to be working just fine.
It is maybe just a we bit bursty, but not at all bothersome. I think he's
got it. (I'm connecting with a 9600 baud Practical Peripherals modem until
I get the power supply for my 28.8 modem fixed).

I haven't had dialin problems with teh slower modems in a long time (of
course, by saying this I won't be able to get a dialin connection to work
correctly for a week... and netscape is down so I cant' use backtalk. <sigh>
I hate telnet)

I'm now connected to Scott's test modem from a US Robotics 33.6 fax modem.
Once again, it seems to be just fine.

Help! We need people to try using the test modem on 761-9671!
So far, only Janc and myself have tried it, it works fine for us. We need
more folks to test it out before we load up the rest of them (the new GVCs)
and replace all the old Supras. It will still be 2400 baud, but the modems
will be error correcting!
<Scott folds his hands, looks solemn, and says, "with your help, we can
eliminate line noise forever! Won't you please call 761-9671?">

Ok, I'll add it to my dialing queue, and I'll use it instead of 5041 until
the 4th of never ;)

ummm, it seemed. just a couple minutes ago, that -5041 was skipping
the h2 and h3 ports (gotta busy several times).
then -3000 naswered and either gave garbage or immediately after
connect, disconnected. yes, i hvae the various parameters for
each situation well worked out, standardized and not changed for
months. ... which is why i'm concerned.
i used the phones command as the hx reference, is it current?

Ok, I'm on the 9671 modem now. Seems to work as well as all the others
to me. The only problem I have is most likely on my end: If I back-
space too fast, I get garbled characters on my screen and I lose track
of where I've backspaced to. (I'm using a 14.4K baud US Robotics giz.)

I'll try this too. If it works for me it will work for anyone. ;-)
