| I know of a number of people who have had the same problem. It seems as if the
length of the dial string buffer that the 33.6 modem can handle is less than other
modems that we've used in the past. (The modem must accept the entire dial string
into its internal buffer before it can process the string; the internal buffer in
this modem seems to be shorter than the internal buffer in the Digital-badged PCMCIA
28.8 modem.)
Maybe if enough of us bug the vendor, we'll see a firmware upgrade to increase the
size of the internal buffer ??

| Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. Any suggestions on what PCMCIA modem would have
the correct size buffer and would work with the Hinote VP? Thanks.

| 2350.4 | atx3 works fine | SWAM1::LOYD_DA | | Thu Mar 27 1997 21:51 | 8 |
| I had a similar problem after upgrading to 33.6. Try setting ATX3 in
modem-properties-connection-advanced-extra settings. This ignores
no dialtone. I did have a Megahertz 28.8 upgraded to 33.6 that did
not exhibit this problem, so it appears the firmware upgrade for the
optima needs a little work.
hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll try that!

| 2350.6 | Not a character buffer issue - buffer = 255 on Optima | TRLIAN::mkodhcp-46128111.mko.dec.com::Lail | Robert G. Lail | Wed Apr 02 1997 18:53 | 39 |

RE .3
According to the Hayes FAQ posted on their web page the
character buffer on the Accura and Optima modems is 255 characters so
this problem should not be caused by the old 40 character buffer
issue.
RE .0
I get the "no dialtone message" from Windows95 and the modem
fails to complete the credit card string. I suspect it is timeout
issue rather than a real lack of dialtone because the same thing
occurs when I replace the $ or W characters with the comma which is a
dumb wait rather than an attempt to detect any call progress tone.
I'm still trying to get it to work so I will also try the X3 command.
For the folks with a Hayes Optima modem there is an online
Windows format help file available from the Hayes Web site. The URL
is;
http://www.hayes.com/popfiles.htm
Scroll down the page to you get to O336HELP.EXE. CLick on the
filename and it will download the file. Place the file in a temp
directory and double-click and it will unpack. Run the Setup
executable to install the helpfile.
There are other good files available on that web page for
Accura and other Hayes Modems.
