Thread: Acer 33.6 modem  (1/4)
  Date: 15-Sep-97, 1:47am  (Ref# 5723)

Still working on a replacement modem for the USR Sportster. I am trying to
understand and configure an Acer 33.6, which uses a Rockwell chipset. In your
README.TXT file with version 1.70, it mentions checking the manufacturer with
the command: "AT+FMFR?" but all I get is an error. I also get an error when I
try and examine the S-register 192. It mentions this register for helping to
eliminate missed faxes from those who do not push SEND on their machines fast 
enough. Thoughts or ideas would be welcome.



Some wisdom for today is...
No day in which you learn something is a complete loss.

S192 is a register used exclusively by the Supra modems.
 
If AT+FMFR? reports an ERROR message, it is possible that your modem may
not support Class 2 operation.
 
From a terminal program, type "AT+FCLASS=?" and the modem will report back 
a set of fax classes supported.  Let me know what it says.

Right you are. I get: 0,1,1.0,80

So, what do I do now? I guess I need to start again, in making it work, but I
am not sure which of your help files I should follow.



                                   o      
              All the best,     \ _\/^\ _

It's a rash man who reaches a conclusion before he gets to it.

You'll need to attempt to do a Class 1 configuration, rather than a Class
2 configuration.  This assumes that this particular modem still has the
adaptive answering feature, but it might not.  I just don't know.
