It works fine at 2400 baud, no noise or any other trouble, BUT when I use it at 1200 baud on a couple UNIX machines here, I get lines and lines of garbage and usually have to hang up. It usually doesn't start util I've been online for about 30 seconds. I thought it was line noise, but with an anonymous 1200 baud internal modem, I NEVER get any noise, and with a TEAM 1200 external, I hardly get any. I guess that my phone lines aren't the cleanest in the world, but I don't know why it's the Hayes box that's the worst of the lot. I know it's between the modem and the phone company because when I get the garbage, RD lights up with it. I tried another Hayes 2400 external, but the same thing happened. I even tried CCITT as well as Bell. I'm using PibTerm 4.1.3 with the same config file for each modem. I hope this doesn't mean I have to go to a cheaper modem (snicker). Anybody else have this problem, or have any ideas? ---------------------------------------------- Lloyd Haskins -- haskins@cs.uiuc.edu Department of Computer Science -- University of Illinois
