Hayes has several features in their modems that may meet your needs. If you use the "W1" setting, instead of just the CONNECT result code, you get three lines: CARRIER PROTOCOL: CONNECT where CARRIER gives you the actual data rate on the phone line, CONNECT gives you the rate between the modem and computer, and PROTOCOL tells you the protocol in use (NONE, LAP-B, LAP-B/HDX, AFT, X.25/LAPB, X.25/LAP-B/HDX, X.25/LAP-B/AFT, LAP-M, LAP-M/HDX, or ALT [referring to the V.42 "alternative protocol" which is MNP4 compatible]). In Ultra 96, if you set S95=32, you also get a fourth result code, after the PROTOCOL result code: COMPRESSION: which can be CLASS 5 [MNP], V.42BIS, ADC [Hayes], or NONE. If you use W2, you get only a CONNECT result code (like W0). However, the speed indicated is the LINE speed, not the speed between the modem and computer (as in W0). But the modem DOES NOT change speeds to match what it says (as in W0); it leaves the speed the same between the PC and modem (speed remains locked). This might be just what you need. -- Toby -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-449-8791 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.
