DSVD Modems

I'm interested to know if anyone here has successfully connected in
ICR2 or Nascar using DSVD modems. Has anyone been able to talk and
race at the same time?

I've got a USR 28.8 DSVD and can't get the voice side to work. If you
know how or have a successful modem string please clue me in. Any help
is appreciated.

I've submitted a complete write-up on DSVD to Sim Racing News and it
should be in there on the next issue.

The summary is this.  yes it works and works great, with the following
caveats:

Modem string should be:  AT&F1&K0SSE=1

It doesn't work with the modem string they ship because it disables
error correction and error correction is REQUIRED for DSVD --
unfortunately this means an increase in latency, but its tolerable.

Secondly, you cannot switch from voice to voice/data within the game.
The way Papyrus coded the answering mechanism it just doesn't work.
You need to set your modem strings as above.  Dial using the game,
wait until the connection is established and the answering person
switches to a track, then lift the handset.  I've raced probably 30
times with the DSVD setup and this is the most reliable way to do it.

Hope this helps.

The USR DSVD works great in NASCAR and Indycar 2.  I use AT&F1&K0-SSE=1.

Thanks...let me know if you have any more problems with it.  It some times
takes more than one try.
