Re: (ASCEND) Phone Lines Vs. Max
In my experience here in Canada, hotels, even with supposedly
dedicated data lines in the rooms are still going through the hotels
switch.
Quality on these lines has been very unreliable and packet loss
is a big problem.
Bottom line is I havent been able to achieve 9600+bps on a hotel data line
to date connecting to a Max. (but I don't beleive the max is the problem, as
I also connected to a run of the mill analog modem
pool from the same location with the same results.)
My recommendation would be to tell your customers to lower their baud rate
and turn compression off. They should be able to connect
and stay connected, albeit at a glacially slow connect speed if they
lower their modems expectations when negotiating.
I've tried various strings, but a simple one like at&f(1)s10=255&d0 on
most modems will usually do the trick. You can look up the registers and
experiment to find what works best in each instance though.
