Hello ALL!
                                            
Magicjack and modem test results as I promised a few weeks ago. I can report 
that the connections were successful.


I have a unique setup, it is a magicjack attached to a switch port on my
network, a USR Sportster 28800 hooked to it and to com 1 on a ubuntu box. I am
running a WINXP VM on the ubuntu box and Have D'Bridge in a DOS box doing the
sending and receiving.

I have been testing it with Mark Lewis. After writing a Modem Control file for 
DB and opening up the com ports to 115200 I was able to get a 19200 connect. 
FYI here is a log excerpt.


01/07/2013 13:37  Calling 1:3634/0 at 33600 baud
01/07/2013 13:38  Modem reports "NO CARRIER"
01/07/2013 13:38  Calling 1:3634/0 at 33600 baud
01/07/2013 13:39  Modem reports "CONNECT 19200/ARQ/V34/LAPM"
01/07/2013 13:39  EMSI: 1:3634/12@fidonet, FrontDoor 2.33.mL.b2

01/07/2013 13:39  Z32-S: 453b, 00:00
01/07/2013 13:39  Successful, 00:10, a "free" call

I also tested it with Fred Riccio and some others. It worked equally well. The 
only limitations that I found were caused by the software settings on the 
receiving end and the baud rate that was listed in the nodelist. The highest
connect rate that I have been able to obtain thus far was 21600. If you are 
using a 28800 or higher modem I suggest that your nodelisting reflect your baud 
as 33600, which is the highest baud available per the FTS (Fidonet Technical 
Standards) so a system dialing in to you will try to connect at the highest 
baud rate and fall back as approproiate.
 
Later,
Bill
