3742.0. "V.25bis?" by MSAM03::DOUGLASBURKE (What's it all about...Alpha!!!) Fri Jan 07 1994 05:31

    In the line definition "DL" option under "COM", under "MSY" under "SM",
    we can define which type of modem we are using for our CX line.
    
    If we GOLD-L in that field of the form, we find V.25bis listed. 
    However, if we try to use that, we get an error message back stating
    that the connection to the modem could not be made.
    
    The SSA does not include V.25bis as one of the supported modem types. 
    O.K., so trying to use it is unsupported.  But why then was it included
    in the list?  We have one customer who is very confused by this.

3742.1?AIMTEC::WICKS_AAtlanta's Most (In)famous WelshmanFri Jan 07 1994 16:268
    Doug,
    
    are you sure you didn't put it there yourself? I thought CXPLINES.DAT
    was shipped empty.

3742.2Vaguely....IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeFri Jan 14 1994 10:257
    Support for V25bis modems was added (principally for Germany I think)
    during V2.2 (or perhaps V2.3). Maybe it only works in Europe?
    
    As I recall, we just added some code that was developed by someone in
    Germany.

3742.3In BEV perhaps?MSAM03::DOUGLASBURKEWhat's it all about...Alpha!!!Sat Jan 22 1994 04:1514
    Re: .1
    
    The validation is against a data set shipped with the SSB kit.
    
    Re: .2
    
    Perhaps the support was only added for the BEV?  If this is the case,
    then we might not see it in the U.S. version, which is the one I'm
    using.
    
    Is there a way perhaps to extract the necessary pieces out of the BEV
    kit and insert it into the production system.

3742.4FRAMBO::HOFMANNStefan Hofmann, IST FiWi @FRSMon Jan 24 1994 06:368
    Are we talking about V3.0? Which language?
    
    As far as I can see all language versions produced in Frankfurt
    contain the empty CXPLINES.DAT file. 
    
    ...and the BEV is history for a long time already

3742.5Should be OK...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeMon Jan 24 1994 09:2914
    OK, I give in, I've looked at the code. Actually, so could anyone else,
    since the change was to the BLISS module CXGLOBAL.B32, which we ship in
    the kit. (Check OA$BUILD!)
    
    Now, although the comments to this change (made in V2.3) say that it
    was done for Germany, there doesn't seem to be anything stopping these
    modems being used elsewhere, unless the command and responses are
    different in other countries. Since the codes look pretty meaningless
    to me, I can't tell!
    
    V25BIS seems to be allowed by the validation on CXP$LINES (MGT MSY COM
    DL) in the base kit.
