Sorry for quoting the entire message, but every time I try to cut some of it and save it, I get errors. It's probably because I tried deleting all of it. Which you should be able to do anyways! Well, it looks like I found the problem. Solving it is a different story. I took my GS apart and re-installed the Zip in the remote possibility that I hadn't installed it correctly. No problems there. But I was still having the problems in ProTERM. So I tried dropping the connect speed to 9600, things got a little better. So I dropped it to 2400 and it works perfectly. So now, is there anyone out there using ProTERM 3.1 and a USR 14.4 Sportster fax modem with a Zip (9/64 preferrably) that can tell me what they're using for an init string? Let me see if I can get mine.....here it is: ATX4&A0&B1&N0&H1&I0&R2S11=40 Btw, if anyone is using this modem on a GS, this init works perfectly. If you don't have any suggestions, can someone give me Zip's phone number? Rob. P.S. It also runs stable with no glitches at 4800, which I'm using now. -- ____________________________ //// ______________________________ | |--00 | | Apple // Forever!!!!!!

Are there special settings >I should be using? First off choose "USR HST/HST Dual (9600-28800)" for 'modem', assuming your using ProTERM 3.1 with the latest file version of 'PT3.CODE0'. On my IIgs I use the default init string it supplies, although I added '&C1' and changed '&A0' to '&A3'. The complete initialization string is then: ATX4&A3&B1&N0&H1&I0&R2&C1 You must have an properly wired hardware handshaking modem, but if not try using this initialization string instead (for software handshaking). I used it on my IIgs before I had a HWHS cable, and currently use it to get my USR modem to work with my Apple IIc Plus. AT&FX4&H2&B1&I2&K3&M4S38=254 >At this point, I can put the modem on either my IIgs or my Serial >Pro-equipped IIe, if I can figure out if it will work or not... It will certainly work best on the Apple IIgs, since (even stock) it has decent serial ports and enough speed to handle a 14.4K modem, which really isn't the case on an Apple IIe. Incidentally, what year is marked underneath your Sportster modem? I have one from 1992 which works absolutely fine with my IIgs using a hardware handshaking cable _and_ regular cable (using software hand- shaking) but had nothing but trouble with two 1995 Sportster modems. I ended up returning both those more recent modems, and instead waited for my brother to upgrade to a 33.6K Sportster so he could pass on his older modem to me. Mitchell Spector spec@vax2.concordia.ca
