UP9600
#22
Setting AT&K1 did make a difference with the AT*HELP command. It did not eliminate my download retries completely, however. I realize that is not necessarily the fault of the WiModem or terminal settings though. There is quite possibly something analog still getting in the mix with the BBSes I have been connecting to. Not to mention that they are being run on original hardware in some cases. Many variables are involved, but I have been surprised by the speed of some sites. I will keep trying on the file transfers.

This probably deserves its own thread but it is related somewhat. Aside from the Commodore Server, are you aware of anyone connecting at higher than 9600bps to a site that advertises the use of a 38.4k SwiftLink, for example? Since the UP9600 is the fastest driver available in the two terminal programs I have used so far, will there be a chance of a 38.4k or better driver just for the WiModem? I realize that is a tall order but I only ask because the hardware supports it. I'm really curious to see how far it can be pushed.  Maybe "Alwyz" would be interested. Big Grin

Slight detour-- I remember when I first got my SwiftLink in 1990-ish. I had it paired up with some model of US Robotics modem and while I was doing better than my modems before, it never got to an impressive level. This was with systems that were capable of supporting up to 56k mind you. It didn't help that the 8bit BBSes were fading away by that time and I do not recall anyone actually running their BBS using the SwiftLink. In my local community, more and more people had switched to Amigas by then. They had their own serial port limitations but not as bad as the 8bitters. At some point in the mid 90s, I got a GVP I/O extender for my new USR V.Everything modem to use in my A3000. At that time, I do not believe any of the Amiga boards I called were active anymore. They had all moved on to the internet and so did I. I still wasn't always getting good connections with my dial-up ISP but at least I could say it wasn't something on my end.

It hasn't happened yet that I have discovered, but there could also be the possibility of someone running their internet-connected BBS using the WiModem. I realize that will require that their BBS also support UP9600/WiModem if they want to do better than 2400bps.
