Using a terminal program for testing, try this string... at&f1&k0s15=128 then dial the ISP's number using atdt Did that, same result. Of course as I did, I realized I didn't know how to send my username and password in a terminal program. When I say "same result" I mean it quit the handshake early after connecting, as it had been before.Since you are not completing the negotiation process, there is no loginneeded, so don't worry about that. The testing is to establish the abilityof the modem to negotiate a modem to modem connection.Maybe we need to clarify some terminolgy...When I say "connect", I mean complete the negotiation and report CONNECT tothe system.The modem dialing into the remote modem and the remote picking up theincoming call is not what I will call a connection in here.You state that it quits the handshake early. Please explain that a littlebetter. All modems go through an audible and silent period during thenegotiation (handshake). The audible part establishes initial negotiationspeed and a couple of other parameters, the silent part generally is wherethe error correction and any data compression is established. So I wouldexpect that there would be a silent period lasting a couple of secondsbefore the modem reports the connection. Most of my V.34 connections wereestablished in about 18 seconds from beginning of dialing to connect report,some took a little longer. When connecting through DUN, there will be anadditional period where the login to the ISP is done but you can tell wherethat starts by watching the dialog box change to "Verifying username andpassword". Some people do not uncheck the "Login to network" and that addssome time to the login process.With the USR, sometimes you can figure out a little about what is goingwrong by manually dialing (using the ATDT...), observing the actions of themodem, and then checking the ati6 immediately after the failure to completethe connection.--Hooda Gest"In a New York minute, everything can change..."
