ISP Information:
A computer operating system widely used on computers big and small, and very commonly used on the Internet. Many of MSDOS' commands were adapted from the short, cryptic commands characteristic of unix, such as rm, cd, and mv. For more information, see the Unix FAQ and visit the Delphi Unix Forum. - Monty Solomon wrote: After the Ninth Circuit Court of AppealsThe most often overturned court in the country?Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8-122.5
This type of storage is basically a huge block of RAM chips that functions like a hard drive. Solid state drives are extremely expensive, but offer very high data speeds that are necessary in some applications. They can also be used as large caches on huge RAID subsystems, but due to the volatile nature of the DRAM used as storage solid state drives should be used carefully. - A friend has an unbranded internal modem.Windows XP reports that it is an "Agere PCI Soft Modem"and ATI3 reports "Mercury V2.0.2.0". The modem containsan SV92P something chip and a 1034C (Mercury) chip.This was working ok on her own ISP, but when she triedusing my ISP, it was disconnecting after 10 or 15 minutes.Sometimes 1 minute. The ISP said there was noise on theline, but I couldn't hear any.Her old ISP would stay connected for hours. Althoughafter checking the logs I found this was only at 40kI tried fiddling with various settings to get it tostay connected to my ISP, such as disabling compressionand/or error correction, and reducing the connect speedbut without success. I tried searching for a driver upgradewithout any luck.www.agere.com has only one set of modem drivers (Version 8.2.8),for LT Win Modems. I downloaded these and tried installing them,but nothing happened. I tried manually selecting a modem, butthe installation program asked which COM port it was connectedto, COM1 or COM2. For an internal soft modem, neither choice wascorrect. I tried selecting one anyway, but the resulting modemdriver was marked as "not working".I can't see any brand name markings on the modem card.I tried doing an FCC ID search but got nothing.Some webpages have recommended getting drivers fromDynalink or Askey, but I can't be sure if they willwork or make any difference.A Google search found the following posting: From: Robin (robin_@softhome.net) Subject: Help with new lucent/agere v.92 modem Newsgroups: comp.dcom.modems Date: 2002-08-24 09:57:35 PSTAs part of the new user deal, they sent me a v.92 modem. It came in ashrink wrapped box which says "Lucent PCI Internal Modem 56k & v.92" onit along with a picture of the modem. It did not come with anydocumentation, but a CD labeled "2002 Lucent Modem Driver". This diskhas no readme files or other documentation on it, only drivers for ahandful of different OSes (mine, win2k, included--thankfully.)I ran the setup program, and it installed (according to the devicemanager) an "Agere Systems PCI Soft Modem".It works, in the sense that I can connect to the internet.I can only stay connected to my ISP for about 5 minutes, then theconnection drops. This time varies widely, between 1-20 minutes. I'veused 5 other modems (2 USR, 2 LT, and a Motorola) with this ISP and havenot had a problem with disconnects.Pretty much the same situation as my friend.Later in the same thread, Date: 2002-08-25 06:20:11 PSTrtjaxn@bellsouth.net wrote... Have you tried the latest 8.22 drivers from Agere? Good luck. http://www.agere.com/support/client/modem_driver2.htmlIt's my understanding that the 8.22 drivers don't work for the v.92functions. Is that incorrect?I tried the 8.10 drivers which seem to be the highest level whichsupport v.92, and they didn't work. That installed a "LT win modem"(instead of the "Agere Systems PCI Soft Modem" that the driver CDinstalled) and the modem did not function.Same again ...Finally ... From: Ed Schulz (edschulz@agere.com) Date: 2002-08-26 10:45:52 PSTSo you have a PCI soft modem, not a "Lucent" Win Modem. Driver version2.1.6 that you are running is over 6 months old. We've made improvementsto our code since then. I'll send you a recent version for Win2k in aseparate message (if your email address is real). See if it works betterfor you.Well, 2.0.2 is dated October 2001, about 4 months older still.Did Ed ever email the new driver to Robin?Did they work on Robin's modem?If Agere has newer better drivers, is there any other way toget them other than asking Ed to email them?The problem seems to have resolved itself now that she hasmoved her PC to the next room and is using a differentphone socket. I was able to get a 52kb connection andstay on until the 4-hour session limit expired. Even so,it would be good to get the new driver if possible, as it seemsthat may be better able to handle noisy lines. I don't know ifthe problem will come back.
One or more connected web pages under a common ownership or management or theme. - Stanley settled back into the couch, and Mark J Cuccia said to him: But if the second case is true, regarding the slimy telemarketers ... right now, if I'm not mistaken, telemarketers are prohibited by law from calling "known" wireless numbers, usually baed on c.o.code prefix (NPA-NXX), or sometimes down to the "thousdans" level, the NPA-NXX-'T' part of the ten-digit number (NPA-NXX-Txxx). Telcordia-TRA sells a product (a *subset* of the LERG) which identifies wireless numbering ranges, specifically intended for telemarketers, so that they can identify only those NPA-NXX-(T) ranges as wireless so as "not to call numbers starting off that way". But if at some point, wireless and landline numbers become "inter-portable" (which they will at some point, either now in November, or some time in the future), then telemarketers won't be able to identify wireless numbers "up front". They "could" still (in theory) be held liable for placing calls *to* cellular phones even though they might not "know" in advance that the number *is* cellular. Conversely, if I have a landline-based phone that was ported from wireless, I might be "blessed" with not getting *any* (or at least "fewer") harrassing calls from telemarketers because they don't "know" that this number is now really a landline! :)Oh, this is *so* much better a reason why WLNP is bad ... And also, even with being able to port wireless numbers amongs wireless providers (whether or not this will initially be consolidated with existing landline number porting), it still isn't going to be easy and perfect when one does want to port. Don't many cellular telcos require that your handset/wireless device be one "approved by them" (i.e., purchased from them)? Some of this non-compatability has to do with the type of wireless service technology in use by that company (GSM, TDMA, CDMA, etc). But even with compatable technology, some wireless providers still *demand* (require) that your mobile phone be "approved" by them. They can "lock out" your use of their network from your phone (that you now "own" but acquired under a different provider previously) so that you "have" to now get *another* phone (at cost) from *them*.Yeah, and WLNP ain't gonna solve *that* problem -- you can bring thenumber, but not the handset. IMO, *THIS* type of anti-competitive / monopolisitc practice *AS WELL* should be addressed by the FCC/FTC/DOJ/Congress/etc. I can understand phones that are not capable of switching between different technologies where if your phone is analog only, or TDMA-only, and your new wireless provider is GSM-only, you'll have to get a new GSM-type phone. But if you *have* an existing phone (from someone else) that *IS* capable of working on that new provider's network/technology, then there should be *NO* reason for them to require/demand that you get yet *another* cellular handset/phone!It's a firmware issue. Think ISDN BRI. :-) [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: What about in cases like mine where my home phone is 'delay call forwarded' (after three or four rings) to my cellular phone. I suppose after three or four rings when the caller hears the slightest pause in the ringing while the call is taken away from my landline number and handed over to my cell phone am intelligent person would realize he was being transferred to some other number. But whoever accused telemarketers of having any brains? PAT]Yeah, but this one's your responsibility, not the telemarketers. Thisis precisely the reason why I *hate* caller pays cellular, and hope itnever flies in the US.Cheers,Jay R.

Hyper-Terminal will do quite well to access and issue commands to a modem, which is the point in question. HyperTerminal Private Edition will do most of those things that you mentioned below. I do question how you can transfer files over ADSL without the Internet. I also question how many times a user would have a need to transfer 255 files at once, over a local or LD dialup, cell-phone, or null-modem, non-internet connection? It's obvious that Flash Terminal was designed with file sharing over the internet in mind. Recently I've found an interesting program - Flash Terminal. It is really Hyper Terminal killer. With Flash Terminal you can chat and exchange files via modem (including v.90, ISDN, ADSL, GPRS) and null-modem simultaneously without Internet! You can exchange up to 255 files at once with unlimited transfer resuming after connection break. Program includes large amount of nice avatars.
