We have V.32bis and some V.34 modems. Some of the V.32 bis are dual standard modems. I have a user that says he has a USR HST modem V.32 14.4. He says that he can only get 2400 baud connections with most of our modems, but with the dual standards he can get 9600 baud connections. I have a feeling he probably has some settings in his modem that are wrong and I was just wondering if anyone has any experience with this to suggest what settings might be causing him problems. I would think he should be able to connect to any of our modems and at better than 9600 baud, provided his cable supports hardware flow control. Any other suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to install 64 + 32 modems and am pressed for time to go through his setup item by item. Although I realize it may come to that. Thanks, Ray Kopp

Does anyone know when v.34+ will be available for the quad modem cards? thanks, mark

> Quad V.34 v2.0.5 which supports V.34+ and other features has been released. Ho. Am I understanding what this really means ? Does this mean no more free flash upgrades and/or that V.34+ will be extra charge. > It's available via tech support on 1 800 231 8770 to TC owners with a > support contract or firmware maintenance contract. Oh no, please don't. I'm at overseas, not only I need to have a support/ maintenance contract, I also need to make an international call to get upgrades. If you will have "restricted" upgrades, so please then implement some kind of restricted access to an ftp server as many other companies have.

I am having some serious problems with our USR MP16 total control units. They just plain aren't trustworthy. We bought 10 units sofar, but I put an order for another 5 on hold. Their failure rate is extremely high. In the few months we've had them we had 5 units die on us, and right now 2 units are failing out in the field. They get replaced and all, but that doesn't solve a thing. Am I the only one with these problems? Is USR doing anything about it? All I get is rumours and hearsay. Now my local distributor is saying the powerunits are faulty. Bleh.

There is one message totalling 29 lines in this issue. Topics of the day: 1. AutoResponse Add on

Has anyone on the list installed the AutoResponse Add on for the SNMP management. Apparently it's an added feature that if you don't order you do not get. We're expecting it in soon and I'm really feeling the pressure to get these going since we failed our Beginning of Semester goal for getting our modems installed. If anyone has any advice or experiences in adding this add-on I'd like to hear about it, or any special gotchas. >From what I've read it seems simple, but I always feel it never hurts to ask!
