Long Branch, NJ Lines: 20 We recently purchased and installed a Telebit Trailblazer plus modem for the purpose of transfering news. Unfortunately, I seem to be encountering a problem getting the modem to connect reliably in "fast" mode. I have been sitting near the modem when this happens, and I can hear the following: The modem places the call (as expected), the remote modem answers (as expected), the remote modem puts out the pep answer tones (as expected), my modem ignores these tones (why?), the remote modem puts out the 1200/2400 tones (as expected), and my modem connects at 2400 baud. Other times, (calling the same site, with the same configuration) the modem connects in fast mode without a hitch. It seems to work correctly about 75% of the time and fail 25% of the time. The phone connection (through an AT&T System 85 PBX) is (at least to the naked ear) reasonably good. My news feed is getting annoyed at tying up his line on a full feed at 2400 baud. Any help would be appreciated. Ben Broder ..princeton!moncol!ben ..att!tsdiag!moncol!ben
