I'm not sure if this is a problem with only the Hayes modem, but here
is the simplest init string there is which still connects 2 Hayes
288 DSVD modems at 19200 with a latency of .10 with no DSVD in the
modems.cfg file. It just seems to ignore whatever value I put into the
baud field and take the value in the setup screen. I set up several
tests and transferred the modems.cfg file to the calling computer to
ensure or speeds and settings would be the same.
MODEM Test1
INIT AT&F^M
PREFIX ATDT
SUFFIX ^M
BAUD 38400
No matter what I try I can't get by the 19200 barrier.
I'm still trying Charlie's suggestion of playing around with the init
string, but I still haven't landed on anything that allows decent
DSVD mode latency at 19200 baud or less.
Has anyone out there with a Hayes DSVD modem gotten it to work with
Nascar 2?
Thanks for the help Charlie, any other suggestions?
