I can't seem to get Nascar 2 to connect at a baud rate greater
than 19200. In Nascar 1 I used 38400 with my Hayes DSVD Accura
modem and everything worked great, voice and data. Now with nascar
2 at 19200 the latency is something like .24 and the field goes in
and out on the calling machine making it undrivable.

In the modems.cfg file it states you can enter baud rates to
38400, which I have, but back inside N2 it always only shows
19200 as the fastest rate.

Someone please help, I purchased the DSVD modem strictly for
Nascar Racing, and now that N2 is out I'm unable to race via
modem and DSVD.

thanks,

barry

PS: I tried Nascar 1 at 19200, and the latency is the same I'm
experiencing in N2.

What's your initialization string look like? I use the USR DSVD vi modem,
and the following string works well with it:

AT&F1^M~~~&K0-SSE=1^M

We get latencies of around .16 to .18 using DSVD, around .11 or so without
DSVD.

Barry - we set the max baud rate in the configuration screens to 19200 because
a lot of machines have problems trying to establish connections *at all* at
higher
baud rates. We were getting a lot of reports from beta testing of machines
that couldn't
make connections, but it turned out that when they were limited to 19200
they could
connect fine.

I'm pretty sure the workaround you described - manually editing your .cfg
file to
specify a higher baud rate - will work, if you feel you get better
performance that
way. I also suspect you could figure out a modem init string which will
give you a
better connection and lower latency with a 19.2K or 9600 serial port
setting, if you
work with the modem a bit. If you figure out a good combo for you Hayes
DSVD modem,
could you post it here so other users can benifit from your experience?
Thanx...

Don't know about the Hayes modem, but this works for US Robotics Sportster
DSVD's:

MODEM U.S. Robotics Sportster DSVD
INIT AT&F1^M~~~AT&K0-SSE=1^M
PREFIX ATDT
SUFFIX ^M
BAUD 38400

Just cut and paste into your MODEMS.CFG file. Got a 31.2K connect with a .13
latency. USR requires error correction enabled to do DSVD
