ISP Information:
A nearly obsolete term for transmission rates synonymous in early, simple systems with bits per second. In faster, more complex systems of encoding and transmitting data, the term loses its simple meaning and has fallen into disuse (and frequent misuse). See baud.

I didn't understand all the microsoft instructions butI did set s32=226 by running ppp manually on my freeBSD machineand it works a champ! That's cut my time to a useful connectionalmost in half! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!Once I knew what s register, I was able to find the bit-map tablein the modem's "documentation." Do I understand correctly that inaddition to disabling both v.92 and v.90, s32=226 also disables x2modulation (select models only) and enables v.8 mode whatever theyare.Can you elaborate on those latter two changes? I'd like tounderstand more about modems. E.g., what would have happened if Ihad set s32=192 which would *only* have disabled v.90 and v.92?You would probably have a 14,400 connection, since you didn't enable V.8mode.(I'm getting ready for a trip and won't have time to experimentuntil I return so, if you know off the top of your head, I'llappreciate your comments. Is there a FAQ somewhere that may helpme to understand more?)You are correct that it also disables x2, in fact it disables all 56kmodes in the USR modem. The default for S32 is 2 which enables v.8 mode.v.8 is required for all speeds above 14,400. A quick and easy way toturn the modem into a 14,400 is S32=0, so you can see, in order to getwhat you wanted (V.34) and disable all 56k speed protocols, you neededto add 2 to whatever value is required for the particular bit you wantto set.If you have your manual, you can see what I mean.S32 Conection bit mapped operations1 V.8 Call Indicate Enable2 Enable V.8 mode4 Reserved8 Disable V.34 modulation (up to 28,800)16 Disable V.34+ modulation (31,200 and 33,600)32 Disable x2 modulation (early 56k prior to V.90)64 Disable V.90 modulation (Standard 56k protocol)128 Disable V.92 modulation (Newest 56k Standard)So set the bit mapped register, just add up the values of each bit thatyou want to disable, keeping in mind that V.8 (default), must remainenabled for speeds above 14,400.Example: To disable all 56k protocols.Add bit values 128 (V.92), 64 (V.90), 32 (x2)= 224 + 2(enable V.8) = 226The reason I included x2 in the disable list, is that some ISP's using3COM Server Modems still allow x2 connections. So to avoid thatpossibility, I included x2 in the disable formula. Good luck.-- Hi Art! I have read many of your posts and know that you are eons ahead of me in knowledge of modems. (That is meant as a compliment, not sarcasm). I must be lucky. I keep using internal PCI USR Winmodems V90 56k, bought at COMPUSA for about $35, just plugging them in, using normal procedures and they work fine. Normally my computer reports back that I log into my ISP at 49 to 50 kb. Logging in is also very fast. Perhaps that is due to the ISP which is ispwest.com, a big improvement over previous Earthlink and others. Work as well with either XP Pro and Win98SE2 installed. My question is, "why are so many others using special scripts with their modems?"Thanks for the kind words Panos. To answer your question - Usually, ifinstallation is done correctly, and line conditions permit good V.90/92connects, then the default strings work very well. However, many usersare not blessed with good line conditions such as yours and mine, sothey seek help in these modem newsgroups. Those requests that you see inthese groups, are just a small fraction of users out there, and thosemillions of users who have no prob
